From May 23 to 31, 2025, the Mohammed VI Foundation for Environmental Protection will host a new edition of Ocean Week, under the theme:

This national event dedicated to environmental awareness and engagement will bring together children, youth, educators, and partners through an educational and immersive program implemented across Morocco’s 12 regions.

Highlights of the Week:

May 23: Official opening ceremony, gathering members of the Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) and the Ocean Ambassadors (AGUYEN) around four key themes:

• Tackling Marine Pollution
• Marine Protected Areas and Biodiversity Conservation

A special focus on May 27 will address runoff, a major contributor to marine pollution. This topic will be linked to the World Day to Combat Desertification, highlighting the interconnectedness between terrestrial and marine ecosystems.
