Wildlife
History
The Souss valley has long linked inland Amazigh communities to Atlantic trade routes; the area around Agadir evolved from fishing village to a modern port city in the 20th century.
Conservation
The coastal wetlands are important migratory stopovers—keep to paths, avoid fenced nesting areas, and limit noise to reduce disturbance.
