Al Hoceima Coast map.jpg


CASE description

The coast of Al Hoceima is located in the central part of the northern of Morocco, along the Mediterranean Sea. Two large units can be distinguished within the Coast: Al Hoceima Bay (marked by a large alluvial plain), Al-Hoceima National park, (45 kilometres of coastline) characterised by some of the highest rocky cliffs in the whole of the Mediterranean.

ICZM phase

Setting the vision




Main coastal issues

- Degradation of coastal ecosystems

- Decrease of natural resources and loss of biodiversity due to human activities (especially coastal urbanization and coastal tourism)

- Coastal Risks and vulnerability to Climate change (e.g. coastal erosion, decreasing of water resources…)


Objectives


  • Element A
  • Element B
  • Element C- To remediate to the coastal degradation in order to sustain common ecosystem services supporting economic welfare and social wellbeing.

- To elaborate future Scenarios based on a participatory process and using quantified Indicators.

- To assess coastal vulnerability to climate change and propose adaptation strategies.

- To help decision makers in their decisions regarding the implementation of the ICZM protocol through the integration of all the tools results, the use of Multi-Criteria Analysis and the production of integrative maps (GIS) easily readable by the stakeholders.
