Coastal Zone Environmental Management
Environmental studies for coastal development, marine sensitivities and impact management.
Coastal & Marine Ecology
Scope may include coastal and marine habitats, transitional environments and, when justified, hydrodynamic study requirements.
Balance coastal development with environmental sensitivity.
Coastal ecosystems face pressures from industrial, tourism and infrastructure development. Site-specific assessments characterize marine and shoreline sensitivities and inform impact management, planning and monitoring.
Scope of Work
Describe the coastal site and potential area of influence.
Identify sensitive coastal and marine habitat features.
Evaluate potential environmental effects of planned activities.
Propose management, mitigation and monitoring measures.
Reports & Documents Provided
The final reports and documents depend on the project and agreed scope of work.
Coastal environmental assessment matched to the assignment.
Environmental sensitivity and risk findings.
Management and monitoring recommendations.
Where This Applies
Specialist Questions
When is coastal assessment relevant?
When a project may affect shoreline processes, marine habitats or the coastal environment.
Can coral reef impacts be assessed?
Where relevant, coral and other sensitive habitats can be included in the technical scope.
