Environmental description
Al-Hoceima MPA is located in the Alboran Sea and is composed of limestone cliffs, caves, and wild rocky coasts. The area is considered as an ultimate refuge for the original biodiversity of the Mediterranean due to the difficult accessibility of cliffs and small beaches and has fish stocks that nurture the different types of fisheries.
