The announcement was made by Secretary of State Nezha El Ouadi, who is tasked with sustainability. Developed by national research laboratories and ones for pollution monitoring, Iplages gives citizens information on water quality, services, and facilities on 169 beaches, with 451 air quality monitoring stations.
