This national record reflects the country\u2019s steady progress in the sustainable management of its coastal areas in recent years: 31 beaches were certified in 2023, followed by 38 in

destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Brazil, the program is coordinated by the <strong>Instituto Ambientes em Rede (IAR)<\/strong> and has helped establish a true culture of responsible coastal management,
