PAP/RAC at the workshop "Coastal Potection" at Tetouan

With regard to the co-operation with the French "Conservatoire du littoral" developed within a number of projects implemented throughout the Mediterranean basin, PAP/RAC accepted their invitation to participate in a workshop on the establishment of local "coastal cells" in Morocco. The objective of this workshop, organised at M'diq in the Province of Tetouan on June 21-23, 2006, was to familiarise the local stakeholders with the principles of ICZM, and to discuss with them the structure and responsibilities of the "coastal cell" to be established.

The contribution of PAP/RAC, focused on CAMP projects in general, and more specifically on the future Moroccan CAMP to cover the are of the central Rif, was met with great interest of the participants who made a number of questions regarding the project activities, achieved results and management structure. The schematic presentation of the latter served as a basis for the discussion on the structure of the future "coastal cell".
