Blue Wave Beaches are professionally
certified by the Clean Beaches Council, a national non-for-profit
organization devoted to sustaining our nation’s coastal areas. The
Council’s team of scientists traverse thousands of miles of coastlines
every year to ensure that certified beaches meet the stringent program
standards. Blue Wave Beaches must pass two mandatory on-site inspections
based on a 56-point criteria/inventory data standard covering water
quality, beach and intertidal zone, safety, services, habitat
conservation, information and public outreach, erosion management.
Certified beaches fly the distinctive Blue Wave flag – a symbol of
clean and well-management beaches.
Our
palm-lined beaches and emerald, turquoise and deep blue waters are among
the most beautiful in the world. So it’s no surprise that Florida leads
the nation with the most Blue Wave-certified beaches – America’s first
professional certification for clean and healthy beaches.
