We are aware of the responsibility we have towards this area and we try to make our activity leave as little negative impact on the environment as possible. Sustainability is the basis of our business philosophy and we continuously invest efforts in reducing our ecological footprint, applying environmentally friendly practices and educating our staff and visitors. Thanks to the dedication of our team, ACI Marina Cres stands out as a top nautical destination that provides an incredible experience to all sailors who visit us, so it’s no surprise that our guests keep coming back year after year. For us, the blue flag represents top tourist promotion and symbolizes a preserved and safe environment, sustainable development in tourism based on high quality service, cleanliness of the sea and coast, as well as the equipment and arrangement of ACI marina Cres, said the director of ACI marina Cres, Alan Šepuka .

 

Through the installation of a series of practical devices, ACI systematically raises the standards of environmental care in its marinas

 

The International Blue Flag is the most recognized model of environmental education, education and public information awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). The recognition is awarded for one season only, and the request must be renewed every year, and it is awarded to beaches and marinas that meet a number of selected criteria in several areas: environmental education and training, public information, water quality, environmental management and safety, and quality of services. ACI’s marinas have been proud bearers of blue flags for many years, and the tradition continued this year as well. Flag-raising ceremonies will be held in all year-round ACI marinas, precisely to mark this commendable achievement and highlight the commitment of the national chain of marinas to high standards.
Along with the Blue Flag in the ACI Marina Cres, and the Green Sail Flag, next to which a vacuum pump for emptying and disposing of waste water from ships was installed last year, the “Morska škovacera” project, a floating trash can that filters seawater by collecting microplastics and waste, and new defibrillator Lifepak CR2 for prevention of cardiac arrest and resuscitation.
