Reasons for decline of Posidonia oceanica P. oceanica meadows are met in transparent and pure waters of Mediterranean area. The prevalence of Posidonia meadows in clear water is a useful tool for biomonitoring the clearness of the desired area. Along with Mytilus galloprovincialis, the Mediterranean mussel, Posidonia is a natural reservoir of different metals acquired from the environment. These metals are released from industrial, agricultural and urban activities in the coastal area and are one

Although this decline is a major public health achievement, recent speculations have begun to surface after the release of several research studies conducting the safety and efficacy of ingesting this chemical. In fact, according
