Checklist to replace EIA for seawalls
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will use a “preliminary environmental checklist” to review proposals about the construction of seawalls to prevent coastal erosion.
The checklist will be designed in such a way that clearly outlines major environmental concerns which applicants need to address in their planning of their projects. This checklist, the ministry said, will replace the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) requirement for seawall-related projects.
