Some 12 million dirhams (MDH) have been injected for the development of traditional fishing infrastructure at the port of Tan-Tan, as part of projects financed by the American agency under the Millennium Challenge Corporation.

The approximately 800 traditional fishermen registered in Tan-Tan will thus benefit from a 4,400 m2 complex connected to water, electricity, and sanitation networks, equipped with a waste treatment system, and provided with administrative premises and storage and leisure areas.

This infrastructure, the realisation of which is part of the "Traditional Fishing" project, aims to improve the working conditions of fishermen and optimise the economic yield of the sector, according to the city's delegation of the National Office for Maritime Fisheries, which specifies that the management of the complex will be ensured by the "Wattayah for Traditional Fishing" cooperative.

Professionals will subsequently follow training sessions, requiring a budget of 3 million DH, which will be organised by the Directorate of Maritime Training and Socio-professional Qualification. These sessions will cover several themes, such as hygiene, maritime safety, fish processing, and quality.

The "Traditional Fishing" project, which is part of the national strategy for upgrading the traditional fishing sector, is the result of a convention signed on 31 August 2007 between Morocco and the United States through the Millennium Challenge Corporation.

The MCC projects programmed for the benefit of the maritime fishing sector at the national level concern the construction of 20 developed landing points, the renovation of infrastructure in 13 ports, the creation of a network of wholesale markets, and the organisation of training sessions.
