In Bouznika, a coastal town in Morocco, authorities are preparing a major operation to reclaim the public maritime domain. Approximately 350 villas and beach cabins are threatened with demolition, officially because they encroach on the shoreline.
Residents, some of whom have lived there for decades, express deep concern. One owner stated, "It's been our primary residence for 30 years," highlighting the emotional and legal stakes. The operation is part of a broader effort to enforce coastal protection laws.
Local officials have not yet provided a specific timeline for the demolitions, but the announcement has sparked anxiety among property owners. Many are seeking legal recourse to challenge the eviction notices.
The situation underscores ongoing tensions between development and environmental preservation along Morocco's coastline.
