    AbstractThe objective to be achieved during the SEAQUAKE - Plan B project was to corroborate the eastern offshore continuation of a fault identified along the north coast of Morocco (Figure 1a,b). Benchekroun et al. (2013) defined this structure as a normal fault with a surface rupture length of 20 km and seismogenic potential to generate an earthquake of M 6.6. This fault probably corresponds to an inherited structure from the Jurassic transfer zone that was reactivated during the Neogene convergence. The specific objectives of the project were: 1. Corroborate the extension of the fault to the east within the sailing permit area. If the structure extends to the east (Figure 1c), the surface rupture length would reach 37.4 km, increasing its seismogenic potential and being capable of generating a M7.0 earthquake. Considering the proximity and orientation of the fault, our finding would notably increase the tsunamigenic hazard on the nearby coasts of Morocco and Spain, which are densely populated areas with important port infrastructures. 2. Geochronological and deformation history study. It is planned to collect piston cores in designated locations along TOPAS profiles (cm vertical resolution). The identification of the seismostratigraphic units on the cores and their dating will allow determining the Upper Pleistocene and Holocene seismostratigraphy and deformation history of the target fault. This will provide information about vertical fault offset and vertical fault slip-rate. This information is essential to consider the fault as a fault source in probabilistic seismic hazard assessment.
