Abstract
This paper examines the concept of maritime wrecks under Moroccan law, addressing the high number of shipwrecks and ancient wrecks found along Morocco's maritime public domain. The author, Farid Hatimy, highlights the concentration of wrecks near major ports, coastal capes, and other hazardous areas, posing risks to navigation, marine environment, and public health. The paper notes that wrecks often occupy port public domain, remain unmarked, and result from adverse weather, international hostilities, or human negligence. The author emphasizes the difficulty posed by the absence of a legal definition of "wreck" and the confusion with similar concepts, aiming to clarify the scope of applicable regulations.
