Abstract: | This impact note deals with the construction of a harbor at Kumundhoo in Haa-
Dhaalu Atoll.
1. The implementing agency for this project is Ministry of Construction and
Public Infrastructure (MCPI). The project was awarded to Heavy load
Maldives Private Limited.
2. The proposed site for the project on the south-western 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 land (with 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 condition 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 also typical 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. |
