Initiated as a part of the Coastwave venture by the marine geosciences and soil sciences laboratory of Chouaib Doukkali College (UCD) and the Nationwide Middle for Scientific and Technical Analysis, in partnership with the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Fee (IOC-UNESCO), this venture will contribute, in line with its initiators, to the prediction of pure phenomena ensuing from tsunamis, with a view to discover the suitable means to answer them.

The set up of a tide gauge on the port of Jorf Lasfar, indicated Prof. Khalid El Khaldi, venture coordinator in an announcement to MAP, has a twin use. The primary, he defined, considerations the continual measurement of sea degree and the switch of knowledge in actual time. This process may be very helpful for analysis work on local weather change and sea degree variation. The second use, he continued, is designed to detect sudden variations in sea ranges.

“The curiosity in organising such a construction,” defined Professor El Khaldi, “is to plan so as to have the ability to launch an alert in a time appropriate with the response capacities of the competent providers.”

Notice that the College of Sciences of El Jadida organized, on Wednesday, a coaching day for round twenty technicians, specializing in “The usefulness and technical features of the tide gauge”.
