The Posidonia flower, Posidonia oceanica, blooms only in autumn and not every year. Its reproduction can be asexual or sexual. To be able to see these flowers is a great privilege, because of their beauty, although it can also generate sadness. There are scientific reports, which show a direct correlation of an increase in flowering in those hotter summers. As an underwater photographer since 2013 and according to comments from other people who are regulars at sea, in recent years (we have the feeling that) it is more frequent to see Posidonia flowers than in previous decades. If we relate it to the latest studies that point out that climate change is one of the main threats to the survival of Posidonia, my interpretation is that an increase in Posidonia flowering is a real call for help.

During a dive I observed several starfish raised on their legs. I was lucky enough to look at the star in the photograph "Futuro" and realized that it was releasing its sperm to fertilize the eggs that other specimens would be releasing.

Sofía López Rodríguez

Honourable Mention for marine reconnection/empathy

Biography

I was born and live in Barcelona. I am a mother, a pharmacist, a lover and a nature fanatic. I've been taking underwater pictures for 4-5 years, usually when I go on a diving trip, a couple of times a year. So I'm still a beginner, but I am a beginner willing to do anything to defend our oceans and share with the rest of the humans the beauty that is hidden in them

We can only save the future of our oceans, and therefore of our planet, if we are able to feel that we are all children of the same Mother Earth. And so we must love, respect and care for her. We are all part of the whole.
