Cleansing campaign covers 44 beaches in Morocco

"Clean beaches 2004" campaign, carried out in partnership with 24 public and private companies, has covered 44 beaches in Morocco with an investment of 21 Million Dhs (nearly US $2.3 million).

Princess Lalla Hasna handed Monday trophies to parties that contributed to the success of the campaign, initially launched in 1999.

The trophies went to the national railways office (ONCF) and DRAPOR company for their efforts to protect environment. The innovation trophy was handed to the national airliner (RAM) and the urban commune of Marrakesh.

In addition, the Royal Federation for Yachting was hailed for the positive results of its caravan, dubbed "sailing for environment," organized in different beaches to sensitize people on environment protection.

President-delegate of Mohammed VI Foundation for Environment Protection, Lhoucine Tijani, also lauded the generalization and rationalization of swimming water analysis methods and the supervision of water sports to guarantee swimmers safety.
