Pictures from the World Cleanup Day: Saturday, 20 September 2025

Dear boaters,

🌈 The Port of beaulieu Plaisance organised a World Cleanup Day event on Saturday 20 September 2025 from 9.30am to 12.30pm at the marina and Petite Afrique beach!

We would like to express our sincere thanks to all our partners: the Town of Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Nice Métropole Côte d’Azur, Natura 2000 , the CDMM (Centre Découverte Mer et Montagne), Paddle Cleaner, Breathe & Rebreathe, un Océan de Vie, Edmond de Rothschild Bank, and the restaurants Baia Bella and La Javanaise! 🌍🐬🐳🐟🐠🧺🧹🙂

Many thanks also to the boaters and visitors who contributed to this wonderful show of solidarity!

Around a hundred volunteers came to collect 59 kg of waste on land and 15 litres of cigarette butts (i.e. 9,000 butts).

Most of the waste collected was single-use plastic, microplastics and cigarette butts ☹.

⚠ A single cigarette butt can pollute up to 500 litres of water! 🚭

Check out some photos of this wonderful shared moment!

🙏 A big thank you to all the participants for their commitment! 👨‍👨‍👧‍👧🥰

🌍 Let’s remain vigilant and let’s continue to preserve our beautiful Mediterranean together! 🐬🌈

Le Port de Beaulieu Plaisance a obtenu la certification « Ports Propres Actifs en biodiversité » !

Logo PortsPropres2018 Biodiversite CMJN

Logo PortsPropres2018 CertifiesAFNOR CMJN

Hello,

Our port has reached a new milestone: we are now certified as “Ports Propres Actifs en Biodiversité” (“Clean Port Active in Biodiversity”)!

Already committed to an environmental approach recognised by the Clean Ports certification, we are going even further:

On 8 September 2025, we obtained the second level of the international ISO 18725 Clean Ports standard, which rewards concrete actions in favour of terrestrial and marine biodiversity, both in the port and in its area of influence.

👉 This certification recognises a comprehensive and active strategy in favour of living organisms. A port is an ecosystem teeming with life…🐟🐠 🐞🐢🌲

Whereas the first level, ‘Clean Ports’, promotes the environmental management of the port in terms of waste, effluents and resources, this second level promotes port managers who make biodiversity a concrete, sustainable and measurable priority. One section is also dedicated to staff training and user awareness.

🎯 Obtaining Clean Ports Active in Biodiversity certification therefore means:
✔️ Meeting a rigorous global standard,
✔️ Undergoing an independent assessment based on a set of seven highly demanding criteria,
✔️ Guaranteeing users a living environment conducive to biodiversity,
✔️Gaining global recognition from institutions.

This result is the fruit of collective effort and shared conviction. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this milestone!

Congratulations to all Port employees for their commitment and professionalism!

The Port of Beaulieu Plaisance would also like to thank AFNOR and the AFNOR team for their support throughout the certification process.

Thank you,

Kind regards,

THE PORT AUTHORITY OF BEAULIEU PLAISANCE

EXHIBITION « L’OCEAN VIVANT » Greg Lecoeur & Olivier Anrigo

IMG_20250808_121422_resized_20250808_023803990

Dear boaters,

We invite you to discover the exhibition ‘L’Océan Vivant’ (The Living Ocean) currently on display at the Port of Beaulieu Plaisance! 😊

In line with the UNOC, the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis has set up this exhibition on the esplanade overlooking the South Gallery of the Port.

Around thirty photographs by photographers Greg Lecoeur and Olivier Anrigo are on display.

These highlight marine biodiversity in various regions of the world, particularly evoking issues related to climate change.

From the polar regions of the Arctic to the Mediterranean ecosystems, via the Galapagos, Olivier Anrigo and Greg Lecoeur will transport you out of time into an unexpected universe.

Ten tripod totems have been used!

We invite young and old alike to marvel at the beauty of our environment and to consider our duty to respect it.

A big thank you to Greg Lecoeur and Olivier Anrigo !

Best regards,

THE PORT OFFICE OF BEAULIEU PLAISANCE

Dear boaters,

As part of our ‘Clean Ports’ certification, various facilities have been set to promote the development of local biodiversity.

The main cause of biodiversity loss is the fragmentation of natural habitats due to urbanisation.

The Port of Beaulieu Plaisance is committed to participing to the reconnexion of environments by planting local trees and shrubs suited to the Mediterranean climate.

Shelters designed to protect animal species have also been created.

The Port of Beaulieu Plaisance is pleased to inform you that it now features:

  • bird nesting boxes for known species
  • insect hotels sheltering a multitude of insects and promoting pollination
  • hibernaculum used as a shelter for reptiles, small mammals and amphibians
  • ecological corridors and wild hedges
  • ‘Zero Phyto’ signs indicating the Port’s commitment not to use anymore phytosanitary products in the maintenance of green spaces.

We invite you to discover photographs of various installations above.

Together, let’s continue to preserve the environment!

Best regards,

THE PORT OFFICE OF BEAULIEU PLAISANCE
