    In this episode of Botanismi, we dive into the underwater meadows of Posidonia oceanica—the seagrass that returned to the sea, building vast habitats where countless marine species thrive.
    And we discover the surprising alliances it forges underground, echoing the same ancient partnerships that once shaped life on land.
