CAP Nador has concluded successfully after three years of intensive work in the Province of Nador, Morocco. The final documents, the ICZM action plans have been presented and warmly welcomed by a wide coastal stakeholders’ audience. CAP Nador team thanks to everybody who has made possible this satisfactory project.

The coast of the Moroccan province of Nador has 4 sites of biological and ecological importance, including one of the largest lagoons of the southern Mediterranean, all of which suffer from degradation of environmental quality with consequences for the local economy. The overall goal of the project is to promote sustainable development in the coastal area of the province through the establishment of an Integrated Coastal Zone Management Plan of Action with civil society participation. Activities include: Analysis of status-quo, public participation facilitation, public information, ICZM Action Plan development with involvement of stakeholders, support of initial implementation, capacity building, and project management. The target groups are local residents, three local authorities, local departments of relevant ministries, private sector representatives (in particular tourism, aquaculture, fisheries, agriculture), NGO and donor communities.

The overall goal is to promote sustainable development in the coastal area of the province of Nador, Morocco through the establishment of an Integrated Coastal Zone Management Plan of Action with civil society participation. To this aim, the project wants to contribute to resolving conflicts between different actors and developing to the largest possible extent win-win situations for the following forms of land use: fishing harbour, the largest and most important aquaculture farm in Morocco, traditional fishing activity around the lagoon and also in the sea, urbanisation developments, tourism activities (beach and nature), intensive agriculture, industry (the second industrial zone in Morocco after Casablanca), and biodiversity conservation.
