Another Blue Flag was raised in Dubrovnik today, marking the acceptance of another Dubrovnik sea region into this exclusive club. After the Blue Flag was raised over the beach of Valamar Dubrovnik President a few days ago today it was the turn of the ACI Marina in Dubrovnik to hoist the flag. This is the nineteenth year in a row that ACI Marina has been awarded with the Blue Flag which is awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education as a recognition for safety, ecological acceptability and maintenance.

The Mayor of Dubrovnik, Mato Frankovic, who also served as director of the marina for eight years attended the presentation today as well as the director of the ACI Marina Dubrovnik, Niko Šalj.

The Blue Flag for Beach and Marine is an international environmental program for the protection of the sea and coastal environment, whose primary goal is sustainable management and management of the sea and coastline. The criteria for awarding Blue Flags are very demanding and include a range of areas: eco-education, public information, water quality, environmental management as well as security and quality of services.
