Souss-Massa Hunting Season 2026-2027 Officially Commences
The highly anticipated hunting season for 2026-2027 has officially begun in the Souss-Massa region, marked by a launch event held on Sunday in the municipality of Tiqqi, which falls under the Agadir Ida-Outanane prefecture. This event was organized by the regional direction of the National Agency for Water and Forests (ANEF), emphasizing the importance of harmonizing hunting practices with the sustainable conservation of natural resources.
The opening of the hunting season serves as a significant reminder to reinforce the regulations governing this activity and enhance coordination among various stakeholders involved. Teams from the ANEF, local authorities, security services, the Royal Gendarmerie, and hunting associations are actively engaged in ensuring compliance with regulations and overseeing a safe hunting season.
In light of these developments, the agency has issued a call to hunters, urging them to exercise vigilance and responsibility by strictly adhering to existing legal provisions. The primary objectives are to ensure public safety, protect wildlife, and maintain ecosystem balance. The ANEF has also highlighted that regulated and sustainable hunting can contribute positively to economic dynamics and local development, especially in rural areas.
Nationally, over 65,000 hunters participated in the previous 2025-2026 season across open territories and designated zones. Additionally, nearly 5,000 more hunters were recorded as part of tourist hunting activities, showcasing the growing interest in this practice.
