The project is implemented by 7 coastal municipalities situated around the Gulf of Riga in the Baltic Sea – Saulkrasti (the Lead Partner), Salacgrīva, Liepupe, Jūrmala, Carnikava in Latvia and Häädemeeste and Audru municipalities in Estonia. The project aims to improve the overall attractiveness, environment and safety of the beaches along the coast of the Gulf of Rīga by (1) raising the standards of the beaches in partner municipalities using Blue Flag as a benchmark, focusing on lifeguarding and beach safety; (2) increasing the awareness of visitors about the partner municipalities as attractive tourism destinations. The project will benefit the local communities - particular children and young people in terms of beach safety; tourists and visitors, and consequently also the local businesses.
