Environmental management of coastal careers along the Doukkala-Abda linea

Abstract

This study proposes an environmental management model for sand and gravel quarries along the coastline from Doukkala to Abda. It aims at the one hand; the creation of a regional database bringing together all the quarries to identify and characterize the materials exploited as well as the major impacts and risks associated with subsequent physiographic changes; and on the other hand to develop intervention mechanisms to prevent, reduce or even eliminate the harmful effects of abusive exploitation on the environment and public safety, while taking into account the specificities of the region.
