Several mats of these algae, varying in size from 3 to 8 metres deep, have now been discovered near Port-Cros. Lophocladia lallemandii produces toxic molecules that protect it from predators. Its proliferation can have a major impact on the functioning of marine ecosystems, particularly Posidonia meadows.<\/p><p>Interviewed by France 2, Sandrine Ruitton and Charles-Fran\u00e7ois Boudouresque (MIO) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.france.tv\/france-2\/journal-13h00\/3034187-edition-du-vendredi-28-janvier-2022.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tell us more about its possible impact in this report<\/a> (from 15'00\").
