The Mohammed VI Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, chaired by HRH Princess Lalla Hasna launched its 23rd season of Clean Beaches.
This edition concerns 106 beaches, including 28 labeled blue flag, to offer summer visitors a clean, equipped, secure and lively space.
More than a hundred beaches, most of them the busiest in the country, benefit from this essential operation for the cleanliness and protection of the coast.
468 local authorities supported by their supervisory authority, the DGCL, the administrations involved in coastal management, 26 economic partners and more than a hundred local associations mobilized for nearly three months to raise awareness and educate summer visitors, ensure the quality of bathing water and sand, equipping beaches, ensuring safety and health coverage, enforcing order and regulations.
This year, the “Clean Beaches” operation will see the return of the National Federation of Moroccan Scouting, a historical partner, and summer camps managed by the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication.
With the same ministry, pilot libraries will be opened on five beaches to disseminate education for sustainable development. Diving associations will carry out, as in 2021, the man-ocean awareness operation, to collect plastic waste from the seabed.
Children will thus be made aware of plastic waste on the beaches as part of the #b7arblaplastic operation.
Like every summer for three years, they will thus become aware of the volume of plastic waste on the sand and even on the seabed.
The #bharblaplastic operation aims to fight against plastic pollution by primarily targeting young people, whom it raises awareness through the digital channels they use.
The participants will pursue three key objectives: “10 tonnes less plastic waste per beach”, “40,000 environmental awareness actions”, and “2 million young people made aware. »
All of this plastic waste will be removed and reprocessed in industrial units, with a view to the circular economy that the operation has been developing since 2021.
