Govt urged to apply for 'Blue flag' certification of Miramar beach

Goa has failed to prepare the Miramar beach for the Blue Flag Certification.
The Central government appointed agency has urged the State to explore possibility of applying for Blue flag beach without undertaking BEAMS programme as most of the facilities in Miramar beach already exist.
Goa is the only State that has failed to prepare the beach for the certification due to the opposition.
The main objective of BEAMS programme is to reduce pollutants, promote sustainable development and strive for high standards in the areas of (i) environmental management (ii) environmental education (iii) bathing water quality (iv) safety & security services scientifically.
