The fishing sector
between climate
change effects and the
development of the
Moroccan Southern
regions

Casablanca, Morocco
During the last years, the
climate change issue has
been the subject of growing
interest both at the national
and international levels. Indeed,
the situation is alarming and it
is the developing countries that
incur the economic, political,
legal, social and environmental
consequences, thus, climate
change impacts affect negatively
their development and their
economy that mainly dependent
on agriculture and fishing. In
this context, Morocco is not safe
from these impacts, while the
fishing sector is one of the main
pillars of the Moroccan economy,
it remains face to negative
impacts of climate change,
hence the following problematic:
To what extent does the fishing
sector, one of the main catalysts
of Morocco’s southern regions
economy, impacted by these
effects? The study of this subject
requires the adoption of a
method based essentially on:
The current economic situation,
the climate context and its
impact on the upwelling flow
generator of fish resources and
an exploratory study of this
sector in the Southern zone.
Thus, it is necessary to carry
out a geographical analysis,
in particular, a description of
sector situation, identification
of climatic changes effects
and especially a gap analysis
relative to this phenomenon.
The objective is to identify
the participation of fishing
sector in the development of
southern regions of Morocco
and especially to present
recommendations to ensure
the sustainability of the sector’s
dynamism in an environment
affected by climate changes.
