    The Tunisian coastlinee, coveted and subjected to multiple pressures, is a fundamental element in land development. The many uses of this area, which accomodates two thirds of the national population, the vast majority of the country’s tourist infrastructures and more than 80% of industrial areas, have caused environmental damage detrimental to all of its users.Initially, government bodies attempted to address the problem by adopting a traditional approach, favouring legal tools for prevention and repression. The limitations of the latter has recently led the Tunisian State to adopt a new approach that incorporates the dimensions of sustainable development, the participation of civil society and the support of international organisations.

    In Morocco, a spectacular process of coastalization has subjected the coastal areas to the many forms of environmental pressures such as continuing urbanization, the over-concentration of industrial networks, the loss of agricultural land, the destruction of the dune systems or the pollution of ecosystems. Yet the management of these coastal zones is inefficient, handicapped by the multiplicity of institutional intervening parties and by the fragmentation of sectoral policies. Nevertheless, in a context that remains difficult, environmental awareness is encouraging the government bodies to develop and implement a protection policy that is more comprehensive, coherent and sustainable.
