Porto Rafti (Greece) (AFP) – Beneath the surface of the flat, turquoise waters of Porto Rafti, a popular yachting harbour near Athens, hydraulic drills are hard at work as part of a project to protect a vital species of seagrass. Vital to the health of the Mediterranean, posidonia meadows have been destroyed by decades of boat anchors ripping along the seabed. Now, Greek maritime authorities are working to install new eco-moorings, giving boats somewhere to dock without dropping anchor.
