Blue Flag @ Aquis Silva Beach!!

The Blue Flag is a voluntary eco-label awarded to over 3650 beaches and marinas in 44 countries across Europe, South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, New Zealand, Brazil, Canada and the Caribbean.
The Blue Flag Programme is owned and run by the non-government, non-profit organisation the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE).
In Greece this year 387 beaches were awarded with Blue Flag as well as the beach of Aquis Silva Beach, which has been awarded for 14 continuous years.
The purpose of this program is to bring environmental awareness annually at around 44 countries and aims to make our beaches better and safer for swimming and to protect the natural environment. Each coast that is being awarded acquires the right to raise the Blue Flag as a certificate of quality from June until October. Every year a new application needs to be submitted every year.
Beaches that are awarded the Blue Flag based on compliance with 32 criteria covering the following:
1) Environmental Education and Information
2) Water Quality
3) Environmental Management
4) Safety and Services
All Blue Flags are awarded for one season at a time.
If the criteria are not fulfilled during the season or the conditions change, the Blue Flag may be withdrawn.
The delivery of the certification as well as the suspension of the flag was made on Thursday 21/07 by the Peninsula Harbour Master Mr Kapsis.
