In 2023, the Grand Chalon marina was awarded Blue Flag certification, an internationally recognized environmental and tourism label that rewards harbors committed to sustainable development. This certification guarantees boaters and tourists environmentally-friendly navigation.

For example, a careening area recovers wastewater for boat maintenance, new pontoons improve safety, and awareness-raising campaigns are organized.
