Marruecos protege el litoral de Dajla
Morocco is working to protect and preserve its own coastline. Specifically, the Alawi kingdom is seeking to preserve the coastline of the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region in the best possible condition.
The National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) has set up an awareness-raising initiative in favour of coastal protection as part of the North African country's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) plan, as reported by local media such as Quid and Afrik 21.
The local population, as well as environmental experts and workers in sectors related to the regional ecosystem, were called upon to take part in the programme and think about the environmental protection of the area's coastline.
The Moroccan ONEE carried out an awareness-raising campaign involving everyone in the Dakhla region for up to three days, which ended recently in mid-August. The "B7Arblaplastic" activity included various activities such as creative workshops, recycling and training days to protect and conserve the marine environment, as reported in an official note from the organisers.
A beach cleaning programme was also designed in various sectors of the area as part of the Clean Beaches programme set up by the Mohammed VI Foundation for the Protection of the Environment and the Environmental Monitoring Project for the coasts of Dakhla implemented by the authorities in charge of this field.
Various leisure, recreational and educational activities were developed for local residents and tourists on various beaches in Dakhla such as Oum Labouir, Moussafir and Lakhira.
The programme is supervised by the startup Eagle AI, a company expert in applying Artificial Intelligence to reduce marine pollution due to the misuse and recycling of plastics. All aimed at preventing plastic pollution of the marine environment. In this case, the aim is to apply a digital tool for environmental control through satellite photos and Artificial Intelligence applications to detect harmful waste and eradicate it from the beaches mentioned.
The aim is to eradicate plastics and various materials that could affect and pollute the beaches in the area. In a context in which the Kingdom continues to struggle to preserve its marine areas. It should be noted that up to 28 Moroccan beaches have already received the "Blue Flag" label from the Foundation for Environmental Education thanks to their work of ecological responsibility, as the Afrik 21 media recalled.
