Blue Flag monitoring

What are the criteria for a Blue Flag Beach?
A summary outline can be found on the Blue Flag
website where you can also download the full explanation of the criteria in pdf format.
An Taisce are the agency responsible for monitoring Blue Flag beaches in Ireland. Full details can be found here.
Only Counsellor's Strand in Dunmore East and Clonea made it on to the 2008 list.


What is the Clean Coast project? On this
website, you will find a useful website where you can find information on Woodstown. It deals with both Coastcare and the Green Coast Award. It is a joint project between An Taisce and Keep Wales Tidy. Check on the interactive map.

For some local pictures, check out my old Coastwatch Waterford
website.
