Abstract
During the last years, climate change issue has been the subject of growing interest both at the national and international levels. Indeed, the situation is alarming, and it is the developing countries that incur the economic, political, legal, social and environmental consequences, thus, climate change impacts affect negatively their development and their economy that mainly dependent on agriculture and fishing. In this context, Morocco is not safe from these impacts, while the fishing sector is one of the main pillars of Moroccan economy, it remains face to negative impacts of climate change, hence the following problematic: to what extent does the fishing sector, one of the main catalysts of Morocco’s southern regions economy, impacted by these effects? The study of this subject requires the adoption of a method based essentially on: the current economic situation, the climate context and its impact on the upwelling flow generator of fish resources and an exploratory study of this sector in the southern zone. Thus, it is necessary to carry out a geographical analysis, in particular a description of sector situation, identification of climatic changes effects and especially a gap analysis relative to this phenomenon. The objective is to identify the participation of fishing sector in the development of southern regions of Morocco and especially to present recommendations to ensure the sustainability of the sector’s dynamism in an environment affected by climate changes.
