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.

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.

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 messages are obvious, yet they remind us how easy it is to take action against litter, which has a considerable impact on the marine environment.
Every little gesture counts!
Join us in this initiative and let’s work together to create a cleaner harbour that is more respectful of the sea.
Cyclops ashtrays
Practical, discreet and 100% made in France, Cyclope ashtrays allow you to dispose of your cigarette butts cleanly… but that’s not all.
Once collected, the cigarette butts are recycled and transformed into energy, giving them a second life, far from the gutters and the sea.
Insect hotels
We are constantly working to ensure the responsible use of the Cogolin naval port by continuously improving our infrastructure. This involves creating a reinforced breakwater and dredging the seabed to restore the depth of 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.
Electric vehicle charging stations
The port provides charging stations for electric vehicles. These modern facilities, located right in the heart of the port, allow you to reduce your carbon footprint while enjoying your stay. Sail responsibly and drive green to help preserve the beauty of the French Riviera.
Eco-Gestures Campaign
The Jellyfishbot is an electric floating robot capable of mapping the seabed using its onboard sensors. It can also clean waterways by collecting floating debris, even in hard-to-reach areas such as between boats and under docks.
Eco-Gestures Campaign
These messages are obvious, but they also remind us how easy it is to take action against littering, which has a huge impact on the marine environment.
Every little bit helps!
Join us in this effort and let’s work together to create a cleaner port that is more respectful of the sea.
