Blue Flag Beach

Blue Flag status is awarded to beaches in more than thirty countries in Europe , South Africa , New Zealand , Canada and the Caribbean based on standards and criteria owned and managed by an independent Non-profit Organisation , the Foundation For Environmental Education (FEE) Campaign.

Compliance with Blue Flag status requires adherence to water quality standards, safety, the provision of services and general Environment al management.

In Europe , the water quality standards are enshrined in the EC Bathing Waters Directive .

The right to fly a Blue Flag at a beach or recreational water is a strong indication of high environmental standards and is a much sought after accolade by Local Authorities and providers of water-based recreational facilities.
