Two more beaches, both in Lakshadweep, have been accorded the Blue Flag tag, putting them in an elite list of the worlds cleanest and most eco-friendly beaches, marinas and sustainable boating tourism operators.<\/p>\n

The Blue Flag is an exclusive eco-label or certification that is given to coastal locations around the world as a badge of environmental honour. The Blue Flag programme is run by the Copenhagen, Denmark-headquartered Foundation for Environmental Education<\/a> (FEE), a nonprofit which, through its work, contributes to the Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.<\/p>\n

The Blue Flag programme started in 1987, initially in Europe. Certification is awarded annually. A total 5,042 beaches, marinas, and tourism boats in 48 countries have been awarded the label so far. A marina is a small harbour where mainly pleasure boats and yachts dock.<\/p>\n

The certification is given by an international jury comprising members of the United Nations Environment<\/a> Programme (UNEP), United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), and International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN<\/a>), besides FEE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
