Marchica, Morocco
Marchica is a lake in northern Morocco, adjacent to the city of Nador. It was named by the Spanish colonization of the region. In the Spanish language, mar chica means "small sea".[1]
Marchica is of great importance from an environmental, economic and natural perspective, as it borders the cities of Nador and Beni Ansar and the village of Arkaman in the Nador province in the Rif region.[2] Lake Marchica has an area of 120 square kilometers, a depth of 0.5 to 7 metres, and a length of 24 km.
