In this episode of Seen Blue Conservation Podcast – Beaches & Beyond, hosts Sabine Probst Saavedra and Carina Zettel dive into the fascinating world of algae in the Mediterranean Sea. Often overlooked as “just seaweed,” algae are some of the most important organisms in marine ecosystems, supporting biodiversity, producing oxygen, and creating habitats for countless aquatic species.

Through personal stories, marine science, and easy-to-understand conservation storytelling, this short episode explores the incredible diversity of Mediterranean algae — from colorful seaweeds to underwater forests that support life along the coastline. Learn why algae are essential for ocean health, coastal ecosystems, climate resilience, and marine biodiversity.

Perfect for listeners curious about marine biology, Mediterranean wildlife, underwater ecosystems, aquatic plants, sustainability, and ocean conservation.
