The Mediterranean Sea is a closed sea with very little water renewal; this factor has forced its different species to evolve so that they can adapt to conditions that are more difficult than those of the open sea.
The Mediterranean represents 0.8% of the world's oceanic surface but contains 7% of all catalogued marine species, 25% - 30% of which are not found anywhere else in the world. In other words, they are endemic.
In this part of the visit, discover with Palma Aquarium the species closest to you.
The rich beauty of the Mediterranean Sea invites you to step back into the ancient world of Mare Nostrum, uncovering a lesser-known Mallorca hidden beneath its serene waters.
Discover the unique flora and fauna of the Mediterranean seabed, including the remarkable Posidonia oceanica. More than just a seaweed, Posidonia is a vital plant for the Mediterranean ecosystem. As a protected species, it produces much of the sea’s oxygen, filters and purifies the water, and provides shelter for thousands of marine animals within its underwater meadows.
