Created on 18 February 2011 through the Dahir no 1-10-2011, ANDA is a public entity, under the supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture and Maritime Fisheries. ANDA aims to promote the development of marine aquaculture on the Moroccan coastline.

As a strategic actor in the aquaculture industry, ANDA works to create a genuine momentum to establish a sustainable aquaculture in Morocco.

This vocation is well summarised in its motto: “One vision, many opportunities.”

Mission

• Supporting investors in carrying out their projects.
