Climate Study Warns: Rising Seas Threaten to Submerge Moroccan Coastal Cities by 2050

Several Moroccan coastal cities on the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts are threatened with disappearance in the next thirty years, according to the report of a study on climate carried out by an American organization based in New Jersey, United States, and published in the journal "Nature Communications".

And the reason is the rise in sea level, as a consequence of global warming.

On the Mediterranean, the area between Saïdia and Nador, at the mouth of the Oued Moulouya and the coasts of Oued Laou and Marti will be permanently flooded.

On the Atlantic, several areas will be submerged, along the coast from Larache to Kénitra, passing through Moulay Bousselham.

To the south, the northern bank of the Oued Bouregreg and the coast from Mohammédia to Casablanca, the port of the city and the Hassan II Mosque also located below sea level will be affected.
