30th Anniversary of Blue Flag & Coastal Clean Up

The 30th Anniversary of the Blue Flag programme, falling in the Year of the Sea, is an opportunity to showcase the quality of the Welsh coast and its beautiful beaches. Led by Keep Wales Tidy with the Green Seas Partnership, this project will deliver a national celebration event coinciding with the Volvo Ocean Race in June 2018 showcasing the quality of Wales’ coastline and the programme success in achieving more Blue Flag beaches per mile than anywhere else in Britain.

Alongside this there will be local celebration events in different parts of Wales promoting outstanding Blue Flag beaches and coast engaging with local tourism providers, a Wales-Wide coastal clean up campaign of community action and education events linked with tackling the issues of marine litter and the production and dissemination of digital materials for tourism businesses  to maximise the opportunity of promoting Blue Flag and Green Coast Awards with further support being provided through a series of engagement events for local businesses and Destination Partnerships.
