Along Oued Sebou and 60 km from the town of Kenitra, is the Mograne dam, where we noticed a huge eel fishery on the way back to the dam, the eels do not survive the strong current, for this, Nounemaroc decide to install a fish pass that serves as a lift to protect this endangered species.

As he approached the pier, John decided to sit down and watch the sunset. He found a spot on a bench and settled in, taking in the beautiful colors of the sky as the sun slowly disappeared below the horizon.

The dams were built to develop large reservoirs of water that could favour agriculture, initially artisanal, which quickly became industrial by the abundance of water. This has fostered pollution due to industrial agriculture upstream of the dams and poor water quality downstream of the dam, no longer being able to grow at sea this pollution, often called muddy cork, which rises and falls with the tides in our wadis.

These impoundments have a harmful effect that nobody suspects, the migratory fish (aloe, salmon, lamprey, sea trout….) of our wadis have disappeared without possibility of reaching the zones of spawning ground blocked at the feet of obstacles, only the eel has been able to adapt downstream of the wadis because its place of reproduction is in the estuaries like the sea fish.

Contrary to popular belief, a non-negotiable part of large Moroccan dams have passes for migratory fish like eel. However, the elver does not manage to recover despite these developments, mainly because of the currents too strong for small fry. An adult eel can, for its part, make real feats to go up the stream: it can get out of the water and move in the mud for several tens of meters to circumvent an obstacle.
