As of August 2026, the coastal city of Safi in Morocco has launched an innovative environmental protection initiative called "Sayfok 2026" on its main beach. This project marks the first time in Morocco that artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to monitor and protect a beach environment.
The AI system employs sensors and cameras to track key environmental indicators such as water quality, waste accumulation, and visitor density. The data collected allows authorities to respond quickly to pollution events and manage the beach more sustainably, according to local officials.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to promote eco-tourism and preserve Morocco's coastal ecosystems. While specific technical details and performance metrics have not been fully disclosed, the project represents a significant step in the application of smart technology to environmental conservation in the region.
