Abstract: | This impact note deals with the construction of a harbor at Kinolhas in Raa Atoll.
1. The implementing agency for this project is Ministry of Construction and
Public Infrastructure (MCPI). The project will be executed under the Access
Improvement Program of the government. The project was awarded to Aima
Construction Private Limited, Maldives.
2. The proposed site for the project on the northern side of the Island appears to
be the most appropriate location for the harbor development taking into
account environment, construction feasibility and economics of the proposed
development. There is apparently a justifiable need to sacrifice a portion of
beach (land with no vegetation) from the Island to make the mouth of the
entrance channel safe, the keep the harbor basin calm and to prolong the life
the breakwaters.
3. Baseline environmental conditions at the project site indicated that the coral
cover around the harbor basin area was very low. The coastal vegetation
around the proposed harbor area was mainly kaani, boakashikeyo, uni and
dhiggaa, and does not represent any specific preservation value.
4. Significant environmental impacts are predicted for the proposed development
project. But these are short term impacts (e.g. sedimentation). These impacts
can be mitigated through proposed environmental impact mitigation
measures. |
