Assessing natural marine risks in coastal zones is a complex challenge due to the interplay of multiple processes. This complexity arises because a single coastal area may face simultaneous hazards of both hydro-meteorological and seismotectonic origin. The convergence of terrestrial and marine processes in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region, the focus of this study, can trigger catastrophic events, the severity of which is...
