This study investigates alternative, cost-effective methods for the regeneration of Posidonia oceanica in degraded marine habitats by germinating posidonia seeds and cuttings onto solid substrates, exploiting the plant’s natural adherence to hard surfaces. Through three project phases, from seedling growth to in-situ trials and remote monitoring, this approach seeks to deploy plant/ rock units from vessels, bypassing the need for manual planting by divers. Initial findings indicate successful seedling germination and favorable hydrodynamic behavior, paving the way for largescale, diver-independent posidonia reforestation strategies.
