Area of Reghaia’s coastal plan classified as protected area

In 2015, the activity on Reghaia’s coastal plan coordinated by PAP/RAC ended with the validation by the steering committee of the final document including 21 recommendations. One of them, the promulgation of a decree classifying the zone as a nature reserve, was considered as a priority transversal action. Today, PAP/RAC has the pleasure to inform you that the document did not remain a dead letter because the area, which includes both a terrestrial and a marine part, was classified as protected area by a special degree of the Wali of Algiers. This decision testifies of the post-project involvement of local actors in the implementation of measures recommended by the plan, and shows once again that Algeria has decided to protect its outstanding coastal natural heritage.
