ABSTRACT
On the Mediterranean coast of Morocco, many military ships were sunk in the Al-Hoceima region during the Rif war between the Spanish army and the local Riffians. The aims of this study is to detect and to map shipwrecks embedded in sea-floor sediments in Al-Hoceima coastal. It has been carried out using free satellite radar images and the open-source software Sentinel Application Platform. The result of this study shows five possible locations of shipwrecks in the study area, two of them were confirmed by data shipwrecks of the Spanish hydrographic institute.
