Abstract
This paper examines the concept of maritime wrecks under Moroccan law, exploring its relationship with property rights, maritime navigation safety, fishing industry, and marine environment protection. The author, Farid Hatimy, addresses the challenge posed by the absence of a legal definition of "wreck" and confusion with similar concepts. The paper identifies three categories of maritime wrecks under Moroccan dahirs of 1916 and 1923, including shipwrecks in their broadest sense. The author notes that maritime wrecks derive their specific character from the location of discovery, except for shipwrecks, which are considered maritime wrecks even beyond Morocco's maritime public domain boundaries.
