Marina environmental review system : a methodology to assess environmental management in recreational ports
This paper describes the basic requirements of an Environmental
Management System for recreational ports (marinas), based on well-established
systems such as ISO 14001, EMAS and the PERS methodology (Port
Environmental Review System) recently developed by the ECOPORTS
Foundation. A novel system that can assess the performance of environmental
management has been created, appropriate to the marina environment, tailor made
to the needs and requirements of each marina manager, aimed at supporting
recreational ports to attain international accreditation (i.e. Blue Flag). This
system, including environmental assessment and monitoring, was tested with
major marinas in Greece and valuable conclusions were drawn.peer-reviewe
