Heavy metals in coastal ecosystems caused by the increased expansion of urbanization, industrialization, and agricultural practices have become a significant environmental risk to human well-being. This study evaluates compares 17 sediment quality indices examine possible ecological health risks associated with heavy metal concentrations sediments Nador lagoon Morocco. The concentration order HMs sulfurs evaluated was S > Sr Ba V Zr Zn Cr Rb La Cu Pb Ni Ce Nd Co Sc Nb Ga Th Y Hf. Sulfurs,...
The detachment and mobilization of boulders from rocky shore platforms by waves involves complex geomorphic hydrodynamic processes. Understanding these processes requires precise information on the rates patterns movement megaclasts scaled against wave conditions that generate boulder mobility. Repeat photogrammetry structure-from-motion (SfM) models commonly used in analyses are an interesting option for monitoring dynamics. In this study, we unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based digital SfM...
Coastal lagoons are valuable ecosystems, providing socioeconomic benefits and supporting human populations biodiversity. However, these systems face several challenges, making them vulnerable to both natural factors. In this study, we apply the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) Approach conduct a comprehensive environmental assessment of Khenifiss Lagoon promote sustainable development support decision-makers. Located on southern Atlantic coast Morocco, lagoon was designated...
Abstract Footprints represent a relevant vestige providing direct information on the biology, locomotion, and behaviour of individuals who left them. However, spatiotemporal distribution hominin footprints is heterogeneous, particularly in North Africa, where no footprint sites were known before Holocene. This region important evolution hominins. It notably includes earliest currently Homo sapiens (Jebel Irhoud) oldest richest African Middle Stone Age sites. In this fragmented ichnological...
The Alboran Basin may be subject to tsunami hazards. If such an event were occur, it is expected that the urbanised and densely populated areas of northern Moroccan coastline would affected. Precise inundation hazard maps are needed for risk management in this region. In article, we argue diversity mapping methods ensures robustness scientific knowledge about exposure a territory. Hence, main objective study analyse plain Martil (north Morocco), by using four create two scenarios tsunamis...

Marine litter pollution is one of the world’s major environmental challenges. In Mediterranean, marine on beaches mainly generated by tourism and recreational activities. The present study part an "Adopt-a-Beach" pilot project, initiated as Litter MED (ML MED) coordinated United Nations Environment Programme UNEP/MAP. main objective this work was to assess quantify four along Morocco’s Mediterranean coast (Merkala Tanger, Amsa Tetouan, Sabadia Al Hoceima, Miami Nador) over a seasonal cycle...
<title>Abstract</title> Global marine ecosystems are seriously threatened by microplastic contamination, which has prompted extensive research to determine its distribution and effects. This study uses glider operating data analyze concentrations in the Al Hoceima Marine Protected Area (MPA). Our goal is pinpoint spatial patterns that indicate hotspots for pollution provide information focused conservation initiatives. We seek identify areas with higher closely examining Microplastic Level...
