Le complexe portuaire « Tanger Med »  : une stratégie économique aux dépens d’une gestion durable des risques naturels

Abstract

Northern Morocco, a region long marginalized, is experiencing unprecedented development brought by large projects such as the "Tangier Med" harbor complex. Its impressive facilities (three harbors, processing and logistics areas, road and rail networks) have profoundly affected both slopes dynamics of the hinterland and the life of local residents without any proper preliminary assessment. Based on a detailed field study and land mapping, this study provides an inventory and a precise description of areas heavily impacted by the development of the harbor complex, taking as examples the wadis Ghlala and Laouiyed catchments.
