Abstract Introduction Maritime activities in Morocco constitute an important economic and social lever of the country in particular in the fishing sector. In view of this situation as well as the nature and dangerousness of work at sea, scientific research and continuing education in this discipline should be highly developed to meet the needs of maritime doctors and the expectations of seamen. The objective of this work is to identify the different sources of scientific research in maritime medicine as well as to list the main continuing training activities in this discipline. Material and methods This study was based on the collection of relevant data related to maritime medicine, in particular various scientific publications, administrative and official documents as well as the proceedings of various congresses and scientific events. Results Moroccan scientific publications numbered 22, notably in the International Maritime Health Journal. There were 7 scientific congresses in Morocco, including 2 International Hispano-Francophone Congresses all organized by the Moroccan Society of Maritime Medicine. There were also 8 fishermen’s health days, including an international one organized by the Ministry of Fisheries. In addition, more than 120 oral presentations and more than 20 posters were presented at various medical conferences including in the International Maritime Health Symposium. No specific university diploma in maritime medicine is provided in Morocco. Discussion and Conclusion Many efforts have been made to promote maritime medicine in Morocco, particularly in terms of scientific publications and continuing education. However, the absence of university training in this discipline in Morocco constitutes a weak point in this field.
