OUR COMMITMENTS ARE PLAYED OUT ON A DAILY BASIS
The Port des Marines de Cogolin is proud of its commitment to preserving its ecosystem and undertaking every day to improve its environmental impact. Winner of the “Blue Flag of Ports” label, we are certified “Clean Ports Active in Biodiversity”. At the same time, the “Active in Biodiversity” certification marks our involvement in the protection and restoration of marine biodiversity. This certification recognizes our efforts in waste management and reducing our environmental footprint. Our role is to act daily in favor of local biodiversity within the port and in its busy area.

AWARDS
Labeled
Pavillon Bleu
The Pavillon Bleu Flag is an international environmental label awarded each year to marinas that set an example in terms of waste management, bathing water quality, safety and environmental education.
Certfied Cleans Ports
This certification, the only one of its kind in Europe, guarantees that the port applies rigorous environmental management: waste water treatment, hazardous waste collection, staff training and emergency procedures.
Certified Clean Ports active in biodiversity
This label is awarded to ports that take concrete action to preserve and promote biodiversity: species inventories, installation of artificial habitats (fish nurseries), rational maintenance of green spaces, ecological monitoring.
ACTIONS IMPLEMENTED
Grey/Black Water Collection and Harbour Cleaning
Eco Tank is on hand in the harbour to collect waste and pump grey and black water directly on board your boat.
04 92 28 38 85 or info@ecotank.fr
Clean Point
We are involved on a daily basis, and this is reflected in the way we travel: we have a service boat and a fleet of electric cars, and an electric boat recharging point on the quay in front of the harbour master’s office.
Fish nurseries
We have installed 37 ‘Biohuts’ fish nurseries to encourage the rehabilitation of Mediterranean flora and fauna, an artificial habitat that protects young recruits from predation and helps to boost adult populations.
Robot hoover
A Dpol robot hoover and 12 seabins protect the coastline around the port by collecting up to 15 kg of surface waste and hydrocarbons.
PASS Clean Ports
Set up by UPACA, the code of good environmental conduct sets out for yachtsmen the environmental approach chosen by the port and the best practices for participating in it.
The boater's code of good environmental conduct
This code of good practice sets out simple steps
for responsible yachting.
The handbook provides information on good practice in water and waste management, and in protecting biodiversity and natural areas.
Electric boat charger
We are involved on a daily basis, and this is reflected in the way we travel: we have a service boat and a fleet of electric cars, and an electric boat recharging point on the quay in front of the harbour master’s office.
Alliance Posidonia Member

Port renovations
The installation of a new steel and wood quay structure has enabled all the electrical networks to be lifted out of the water and the quays to be raised to meet current standards in the face of rising water levels.
Connected electrical terminals
We’re also committed to the quayside, where we’re renovating all the electrical and high-voltage networks and installing smart terminals to manage the flow of water and electricity remotely, so that yachtsmen can be more aware of their consumption.
Greening the port
We also have a project to completely renovate the Harbour Master’s Office and its esplanade, while helping to plant the entire harbour to be in perfect harmony with our environmental values.
Infrastructure improvements
We continue to take a responsible approach to the Port des Marines de Cogolin, constantly improving our infrastructure. This involves creating a reinforced breakwater and dredging the seabed to restore depth to the port.
Captain Game
Set off on a fun adventure with Captain Game, the treasure hunt that takes you on a journey to discover the living treasures of our port!

Eco-Gestures campaign
Putting your cigarette butt in a bin, using recycling bins, limiting the use of fresh water… These are not major revolutions, but little habits full of common sense.
You learn eco-actions once, and you never forget them.
So let’s honour the sea, which has given us so much.
Read the practical advice posted in the toilets and at the harbour master’s office.
Clean Actions Campaign
These are obvious messages, but they also serve as a reminder of how easy it is to take action against litter, which has a huge impact on marine environments.
Every little bit counts!
Join us in this initiative and let’s contribute together to a cleaner port, more respectful of the sea.
Cyclops ashtrays
Practical, discreet and 100% made in France, Cyclope ashtrays allow you to dispose of your cigarette ends neatly… but that’s not all.
Once collected, the butts are recycled and transformed into energy, giving them a second life far from the gutters and the sea.
Insect hotels
We continue to take a responsible approach to the Port des Marines de Cogolin, constantly improving our infrastructure. This involves creating a reinforced breakwater and dredging the seabed to restore depth to the port.
Harbour clean-up day
Cleaning the seabed by divers helps preserve biodiversity and improve water quality.
An essential step towards a clean, sustainable harbour that respects the marine environment.
