HM The King Launches Man-Made Reef Development And Immersion Works Off Martil [Print...]
HM King Mohammed VI launched, on December 7th, 2011, works to develop and immerse a man-made reef off the city of Martil (north of Morocco), worth 37,5 million dirhams.

The project aims at reconstructing and rehabilitating degraded marine areas, ensuring rational, sustainable use of biological resources, preserving marine biological diversity and improving small-scale fishermen’s income.
t will be carried out on 52 hectares, nearly one kilometre away from the coast, with a depth of between 21 and 40 metres.
HM the King also enquired about the fisheries development programme by setting up man-made reefs, worth 500 million dirhams.
The programme consists of setting up 29 man-made reefs by 2020. It will eventually create indirect jobs by developing new activities, doubling the production of the species concerned, increasing fishermen’s income by 50%, reducing illicit trawling in 90% of sites and preserving marine biological diversity.
The Monarch also heard details on the programme to restock man-made reefs with fish, worth 100 million dirhams.
Under this programme, the man-made reefs of Souiria K’Dima (near Safi) were stocked with 40,000 sea bass alevins in 2010 and 15,000 meagre alevins in 2011.

Mr José Graziano da Silva new FAO Director-General

Mr José Graziano da Silva has formally taken the helm of the Food and Agriculture Organization, assuming the post of Director-General of the hunger-fighting UN agency. The new Director-General is pushing for a renewed focus on food security, offering to scale up FAO support available to low-income and food deficit countries - especially those facing protracted crises. "We will create teams that draw together the Organization's skills in policy advice, investment planning, resource mobilization, emergency response and sustainable development," the Director-General said. "Hunger eradication should not be separated from responses to other global challenges, such as reviving national economies, protecting natural resources from degradation, and mitigating and adapting to climate change," he added.
