This significant accreditation, initially granted in 2017, was renewed following a recent audit in April 2024 by the Marina Industries Association (MIA) under the Clean Marina Programme (CMP) and Fish Friendly Programme (FFP).
Port Denarau Marina achieved a score of 96.90 per cent on the official audit checklists, surpassing the 85 per cent threshold required for Level 3 International Clean Marina and Fish Friendly Marina status.
This high score reflects the marina's dedication to environmental protection and renewable energy strategies, such as installing rainwater tanks and solar panels and proactively recycling waste despite limited infrastructure in Fiji.
The marina has also gained extensive knowledge of local marine wildlife from a recent dredging campaign, which will inform future fish-friendly construction designs.
Known for its developed yachting facilities in remote and exotic destinations, Port Denarau Marina provides yacht owners with access to both idyllic islands and the necessary amenities for comfortable cruising.
With the renewal of its clean and fish-friendly status, Port Denarau remains the premier choice for marinas in the South Pacific, especially for environmentally conscious yacht owners.
Chief executive officer Cynthia Rasch expressed excitement about welcoming future yachting visitors to Fiji's beautiful cruising grounds, emphasising the marina's commitment to minimising environmental impact while exploring Fiji's pristine waters.
