Moroccan Beaches Classified According to Quality of Water, Sand

Minister Leila Benali presents a report on the quality of beach waters on Friday, June 25, 2022. (Asharq Al-Awsat)

She told a press conference in Rabat on Friday that 51 stations (11.86%) were declared non-compliant for swimming in 2022, attributing this rate to the wastewater discharges and/or high concentration of swimmers, combined with inadequate infrastructure for hygiene and climate change.
