Abstract
The marine habitats surrounding Cap des Trois Fourches (Mediterranean coast of Morocco) was explored in the framework of the MedMPAnet Project. Ten different communities were identified in the studied area, among which it is remarkable the presence of some key conservational habitats: seagrass meadows, dark and semidark cave communities, maerl beds and corraligenous assemblages. All the data was included in a GIS program (Geographic Information System) to elaborate a cartographic map of marine communities and species distribution. All the scientific data obtained support the proposal of Cap des Trois Fourches as a marine protected area. We also provided a map of management, suggesting the stricter protection of the areas with higher conservational interest.
