Comparison of different anchoring methods for seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) restoration

This two-year study evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of various anchoring techniques for restoration with Posidonia oceanica using uprooted adult shoots, integrating ecological success with feasibility to identify optimal methodologies. Experiments were conducted in two bays in Mallorca characterized by historical P. oceanica presence. Four anchoring methods; big staples, small staples, bamboo sticks and calcite pegs, were tested using fragments with plagiotropic rhizomes
