Tunisia- 45% of coastal strip threatened by marine erosion

Mona Qatata, from the Coastal Strip Protection and Development Agency, confirmed that the length of the coastal strip in Tunisia is approximately 670 km, and revealed that 45 percent of this strip is endangered by marine erosion.

Qatata attributed this drift to natural factors linked to climate change and human factors associated with the practices of establishments located on the coasts.

Qatata clarified that many studies are currently in the completion and preparation phase to protect many coastal areas from marine erosion, remarking that the Coastal Strip Protection Agency has developed a program that was launched years ago and is split into 5 stages and continues to this day, according to which 30 percent of the coast has been protected.

She also revealed that the implementation of a new phase of the program was launched in 2022, concerned with protecting several coasts, such as Rafraf, Suleiman, and Hammam al-Lif.

The agency representative pointed out that there is currently a study to protect the southern region of Djerba Island, a study involving Hammamet, and another study in an advanced stage that includes protecting the region from Beni Khiar to Hammamet.
