The Roses Marina has just been awarded the Blue Flag, which recognises the facility's commitment to protecting the marine environment. The Blue Flag is awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) through the qualifications of an international jury that scores various aspects of the quality of a marina: services and safety, cleanliness and water quality, accessibility, sustainability, environmental information and education.

The Blue Flag is an environmental quality award given to marinas that make a special effort in relation to the good environmental management of the port and the surrounding natural environment and that provide users with information on environmental issues. The Blue Flag promotes the rational use of resources in nautical facilities and activities and raises awareness among people who use these facilities about the need to protect the marine environment and sustainable navigation. It is an award that is granted for a single season and is only valid while the requirements continue to be met.

To guarantee a good environmental policy, Port de Roses establishes different measures in its management to minimize the impacts of its activity on the environment, reducing the consumption of energy and water resources and promoting the correct management of waste, both domestic and special, that is generated in the port. It also sets objectives for dissemination, training and awareness among its users, through specific campaigns on responsible navigation and respect for the natural environment.

These actions have led it to revalidate the 2025 Blue Flag for its facilities, as it has also been doing with the international ISO14001 and EMAS certifications, which certify good environmental management.
