FAO 34 – One of the Richest Fishing Zones in the World
The FAO 34 zone (Central Eastern Atlantic) spans Morocco’s coastline from northern Tangier to Dakhla in the south. It is renowned for its exceptional biodiversity and sustainable fishing potential: sardines, mackerel, tuna, octopus, squid, anchovies, horse mackerel… The result is a varied supply of seafood available year‑round and highly valued by international markets.
