dc.description.abstractDhaandhoo is located on the eastern rim of G.A Atoll, approximately at 0° 37’ 15.88’’ N and 73° 27’ 43.78’’ E. Dhaandhoo has a population of 1949 and all areas of the island is populated. The island teams host their practice in a nearby island Nilandhoo. Since for each practice of the football team, the local players have to take a sea transport to Nilandhoo, the practicing is very inconvenient. The proposal to reclamation for the development of a football ground was proposed due to difficulties on land allocation. From the survey conducted to examine existing environment, the coastal environment shows well developed natural beach associated with beach erosion is some places along the west side of the island. In some places the beach rock can be seen. The mean coastal current was found to be 7.9cm/s. In the marine environment the coral cover found to be 16.3 percent and at the time of the survey, some fishes were observed in the vicinity. It is expected that the project will be completed within 150 days. The main components in this project include mobilization, dredging, construction of breakwater and quay wall and demobilization. The proposed area to be reclaimed is 0.72 ha. A total of 18000 m3 of sand needed to be mined from the borrow area, which is located Northwest of the existing harbor. The land reclamation would take place in the Southwest of the existing harbor. The most suitable alternative location for the borrowing area would be the existing harbor. However from the dredging of the existing harbor might not accumulate enough volume of sand to reclaim 0.72 hectors of land area required for the football field. An alternative location for the football field is the site that has been proposed for the land reclamation located at the Northwest of the harbor. However from the community consultation it was found the proposed dredging site is to be used as a commercial harbor in future. The main impact from this project to the environment was identified to be sedimentation and loss of some marine habitat. The main mitigation measures are carrying out the project during low tide and complete the project in a shorter period of the time.en_US
