Welcome to another episode of Ours To Protect on Clare FM.
Today we’re going to talk about the importance of maintaining good water quality at our beaches and seaside areas.
The Blue Flag is one of the world’s most respected environmental accolades, awarded to thousands of beaches, marinas, and sustainable boating operators globally.
In Ireland, it is administered by An Taisce on behalf of the Foundation for Environmental Education.
The award reflects exceptional standards in water quality, environmental education, beach management, safety and visitor amenities.
First, let’s hear from some pupils at CBS Primary School in Ennis and then to answer their questions, Karen Foley, Environmental Awareness Officer with Clare County Council.
*Ours to Protect brought to you by Clare FM, the IBI and funded by Coimisiún na Meán, with the Television Licence Fee.
