Abstract: | This impact note deals with the construction of a harbor at Olhuvelifushi in Lhaviyani
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
Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) Plc. Ltd., Maldives.
2. The proposed site for the project on the northwestern 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.
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 thanburu and mirihi, and does
not represent any specific preservation value. A very large area was observed
to be bare.
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. |
