Blue Flag
The Blue Flag is an award that is given to Beaches and marinas that have met stringent standards. The exclusive ‘eco-label’ is awarded on an annual basis to beaches and marinas around the world.
The Blue Flag Programme is owned and run by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) which is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organisation consisting of national member organisations representing 59 countries in Europe, Africa, Oceania, Asia, North America and South America.
Compliance with Blue Flag criteria requires adherence to strict water quality standards, safety standards, environmental education and information, the provision of services and general environmental management criteria, set by the FEE.
In the European Union, the water quality standards are enshrined in the EC Bathing Waters Directive.
The right to fly a Blue Flag at a Beach or a marina is a strong indication of high environmental standards and is a much sought after accolade around the world.
