84% of Morocco's beaches meet quality standards (survey)

83.71% of Morocco's beaches meet quality standards according to a survey conducted on some 86 beaches.

A national report 2003-2004 on beach quality, presented here Tuesday by the equipment and transport department and the secretariat of state in charge of environment, said the remaining 16.29% are affected by high numbers of swimmers and the lack of sanitation infrastructure.

Unfit beaches were found in provinces of Tangiers, Larache, Casablanca, Rabat-Sale and Tetouan, the same source said.
