The regrowth is very slow: the meadow extends horizontally only a few centimeters per year, and vertically one meter per &#8230; century. As a result, <strong>10% of Posidonia meadows have already disappeared in recent decades.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, these habitats are among the <strong>most productive on the planet<\/strong>, and of great biological diversity: although they represent less than <strong>3% of the Mediterranean<\/strong> surface, <strong>30 to 40% of species<\/strong> depend on them for all or part of their life cycle.\u00a0 They also provide a large number of <strong>ecosystem services<\/strong>: they <strong>support marine life<\/strong>, <strong>oxygenate<\/strong> water, <strong>fix sediments<\/strong> and large quantities of <strong>carbon<\/strong> in their root network (the &#8220;<strong>matte<\/strong>&#8220;), and <strong>protect the coasts from erosion<\/strong> by attenuating swell and forming &#8220;banks&#8221; on the beaches. Fishing resources, climate change mitigation, protection against extreme events, heritage, cultural and tourist value&#8230;: <strong>the economic value of the already-disappeared posidonia beds is estimated to ~4 billion euros per year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The installation of <strong>permanent &#8220;ecological moorings&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>is an effective solution to <strong>avoid the use of individual anchors<\/strong>, but most of them come from the petrochemical industry and require regular maintenance to resist UV rays and fouling. The Floating Reef project aims to develop a <strong>more ecological and sustainable biomimetic mooring buoy<\/strong>: designed in <strong>biogenic material and 3D printed<\/strong>, its structure will serve as a <strong>refuge for various local species<\/strong>. No maintenance would then be required and each buoy could last for several decades. Eventually, several of these buoy-reefs floating above the seabed would be deployed in the same area to create an <strong>educational underwater pathway to raise public awareness of biodiversity preservation<\/strong>. This concept would be replicable all over the world. A <strong>scientific follow-up<\/strong> is also planned to measure the effectiveness of the buoys over the long term.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div style='height:30px' class='hr hr-invisible  '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Phase I: the engineering developments<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div class=\"tabcontainer   top_tab  \">\n\n<section class=\"av_tab_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" >    <div data-fake-id=\"#tab-id-1\" class=\"tab \"  itemprop=\"headline\" >From a concrete sponge-buoy...
