How Evolution Helps Save Posidonia

Preserving Posidonia: Our Commitment to the Mediterranean

At Evolution Yacht Agents, sustainability is woven into the core of our operations. As a company deeply rooted in the Balearic Islands, we understand that the preservation of our seas is not only a duty but a privilege. That’s why, year after year, we work hand-in-hand with the Balearic Government to ensure that our practices—and those of our clients—help protect one of the Mediterranean’s most vital ecosystems: Posidonia oceanica.

A Strategic Partnership for the Sea

For many seasons, we have maintained a close collaboration with Marcial Bardolet Richter, Head of the Posidonia Seagrass Service at the Balearic Government. Ahead of every yachting season, our team meets with Marcial to stay informed on the latest environmental regulations, updates on protected anchorage zones, and best practices for preserving marine habitats.

This training is essential in ensuring that captains and crews who work with Evolution are equipped with the knowledge needed to anchor safely and responsibly, avoiding any harm to the seagrass meadows.

Why Posidonia Matters

Often called the “lungs of the Mediterranean”, Posidonia oceanica is much more than just underwater vegetation. It is the primary habitat in the region, playing a critical role in marine biodiversity and environmental stability. These ancient seagrass meadows:

• Purify the water, keeping our seas crystal clear
• Produce oxygen, contributing to the air we breathe
• Serve as nurseries for countless fish and marine species
• Stabilize the seabed and combat coastal erosion

In short, Posidonia is irreplaceable.

Industry and Government: Working Together

The relationship between yacht agencies and governmental bodies is key to conservation efforts. As Marcial Bardolet himself emphasizes, sharing knowledge and providing tools to yacht professionals is crucial. When captains have access to accurate, up-to-date information, they can choose the right places to anchor—protecting the delicate Posidonia meadows from physical damage.

At Evolution, we take this responsibility seriously. By connecting our clients with expert guidance and leading by example, we aim to be part of the solution for a cleaner, healthier Mediterranean. Let’s protect what makes the Balearics so special—together.
