The meeting between fishing enthusiasts was renewed last Sunday on the banks of the Umm al-Rabi river in Khenifra, on the occasion of the opening of the Trotta fishing season for the year 2025-2026. The event attracted around 450 fishermen from different parts of the kingdom, while more than two million waters are released by the National Water and Forest Agency in order to preserve the biological diversity of aquatic districts and encourage environmental tourism associated with fishing.
As part of this event, which was organized under the slogan “renewed commitment for sustainable hunting”, the measures made to protect the biological diversity of water and the promotion of sustainable practices in fishing were recalled. This included the fish farming and the production of more than 26 million young fish of different varieties in the service stations of fish farming at the National Water and Forest Agency, which seeks to reinstall various water environments such as rivers and lakes.
In its program, the agency organizes daily monitoring of fishermen and their awareness of the rules governing hunting, in particular the maximum daily fishing limit for the thickness of 8 units, with the commitment that the duration of the fish n ‘ is not less than 24 cm. In addition, hunting started for the rest of the varieties on May 10 in water bodies and lakes.
The head of the wild animal unit of the National Water and Forest Agency in Khenifra, Haddou Zidan, indicated that awareness and surveillance would continue daily to ensure compliance with rules and fight illegal fishing. For his part, the president of the Moroccan Ecological Hunting University, Adel Al -Samouni, stressed that the choice of the Umm Al -rabi zone to open the fishing season reflects the environmental importance of this area in The National Park in Khenifra and improves and improves environmental tourism.
It should be noted that the practice of fishing in continental waters is supervised by an annual decision issued by the National Hunting Council and includes the determination of the opening and closing dates, daily actions and lower sizes allowed to hunt , in addition to identifying the identification of protected areas where hunting is prohibited. A partnership agreement was signed between the National Water and Forest Agency and the Moroccan Ecological Hunt University to improve associations of sustainable fish resources management.
