Flagship project

Restore Bouhlou 2

Monitoring and preserving the Moroccan mussel

The Restore Bouhlou 2 project continues the efforts to preserve the Bouhlou river and its remarkable biodiversity. Developed in collaboration with BirdLife, it is now entering its launch phase.

Its aim is to contribute to monitoring the Moroccan mussel (Margaritifera marocana) using tagging techniques. This species, endemic to Morocco, is an important issue for aquatic biodiversity.

Through field observations and habitat monitoring, the initiative seeks to improve knowledge of the species’ status in the Bouhlou river and to support the efforts needed to preserve it. Cooperation between the project partners will help prepare the next monitoring steps and strengthen mobilisation for the lasting protection of this aquatic ecosystem.
