Summary

In 2011, 76.9 per cent of UK coastal bathing waters met the more stringent UK guideline standards of the Bathing Water Directive (one of the requirements for Blue Flag status). This standard is tighter than the guideline standard used by the European Commission in its annual bathing water report and from 2012 will be the sole guideline standard.
