Morocco Invests 1 Billion Dirhams in Tsunami Defense for Salé Coastline

After the latest waves that ravaged the Salé corniche, the government has decided to erect a rocky barrier along the coastal strip, to strengthen and protect the Sidi Moussa coastline.

This project is already the subject of a technical study, says the Ministry of Equipment and Water, specifying that the cost of this study amounts to 15.5 million dirhams, and it should be completed before the end of this year.

With a total cost of one billion dirhams, the financing of the project remains subject to the allocation of the necessary financial funds and the identification of the parties concerned for the signing of partnerships.

To recall, the beaches of Salé, Rabat and Casablanca experienced "mini-tsunamis" in October 2020, which caused material damage to a number of cafes and entertainment spaces, including the private pool of Tahiti Beach in Casablanca, which was almost completely destroyed.
