Abstract EN

The Coast is an integrated ecosystem of various elements of nature, because it is an area of reciprocity between land and sea, and varies from one area to another in terms of marine dynamics and climate impacts.

The coast is the area of attracting various industrial and agricultural activities, in addition to population concentration, thus subjecting this area to human pressure despite its fragile natural status and limited resources.

The Moroccan coast undergone an important concentration of human activities along the Atlantic Axis, as a result of the policy pursued by the French and Spanish authorities during the occupation period.

The results of this displacement and the concentration of human activities towards the coast disrupted the coast's ecosystem, and this was observed through a series of imbalances affecting both the environment and the human being, which precipitated the fragility of the coastal environment, either at the level of biodiversity and the various organisms living in these communities, or at the morphological level.

for the coasts and the evolution of the coastline.

One of the most serious manifestations of imbalances in the coastal system as a result of the concentration of human activities on the coast is the sand quarries scattered on the Moroccan coast, so that sand looting is known, either secretly or fraudulently, by some licensed companies, which has become a real environmental hazard.
