Quality of Beaches in Mexico: The "Blue Flag" Award
According to José Manuel Larumbe Pineda, the head of the State Commission for the Protection Against Sanitary Risks, this has been accomplished thanks to the collaborative efforts of all authorities, where a protocol has been implemented to verify the health quality of these spaces before, during, and after each vacation period.
Not only is Coepris sampling used as a metric to determine the grade of cleanliness of each beach; each "Blue Flag" beach has environmental professionals who undertake additional specific sampling to determine the health status of these locations.
"Blue Flag" beaches can be found all over the world, and they meet the highest requirements of cleanliness and quality.
Mexico remains the country with the cleanest beaches in Latin America, far ahead of the Dominican Republic and Brazil, which each have 22 mentions.
The award is granted by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), which was founded in 1981 in Denmark and has been promoting beach cleaning internationally since 2001.
