The Blue Flag is a leading international eco-certification programme owned and operated by the Foundation of Environmental Education (FEE), a non-governmental, not-for-profit organisation headquartered in Denmark.
The Blue Flag is a voluntary programme available for beach and marinas, both private and public and focusses on connecting the public with their surroundings and encouraging them to learn more about their environment.
Blue Flag monitors environmental conditions to reduce the impact of human activity at the beaches, at the marinas and by boating operators with a collective aim to promote the sustainable development of tourism.
In order to qualify for this prestigious award, a series of stringent environmental, educational, safety-related and access-related criteria must be met and maintained.
Following the award, the owners/operators accept full responsibility to ensure continued compliance of all the criteria.
