Wanderlust World Wanderlust World According to the most recent verified data available as of September 2021, the last reported shark attack in Morocco occurred on September 1, 2020. Details on the location, circumstances, and outcome of that incident are limited in public records.
Shark encounters in Moroccan waters — along both the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts — are rare but not unheard of. Species such as blue sharks, shortfin makos, and occasionally great whites inhabit these waters, though attacks on humans remain extremely uncommon.
For the most current and reliable information, consult the International Shark Attack File (ISAF) maintained by the Florida Museum of Natural History, or check updates from Moroccan marine research institutes and local authorities. News outlets and maritime safety bulletins may also report recent incidents.
As always, swimmers and water sports enthusiasts should follow local advisories, avoid swimming at dawn or dusk, and refrain from entering the water near fishing activity or known shark habitats.
