IOM has extensive experience preparing Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) for development projects. A team comprising physicists, chemists, biologists, geologists and coastal engineers; examine the existing site conditions using the best available technology and resources and evaluate the potential environmental impacts of proposed development projects. Innovative planning technologies such as GIS and modeling are used to fulfill the Client's individual goals, while protecting and enhancing valuable resources, using the guidelines prescribed by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India. EIA preparation entails a thorough review of physical, meteorological and oceanographic conditions of the project site including wind, wave, tide, and current analysis, topography, soil formations, water drainage, storm susceptibility, and weather conditions. Marine and terrestrial ecosystems such as coral reefs, seagrass beds, wetlands, dunes, and maritime forests are also surveyed and documented. Freshwater and utilities, historical, archeological, socio-cultural, and other local or national resources may also be evaluated. Throughout the EIA process, a specialist team offers insightful multi-criteria recommendations to meet environmental standards while enhancing opportunities for development. Measuring air, water, sediment, and noise quality are essential components of any EIA and follow up monitoring programmes concerned with understanding coastal and marine processes and assessing the health status of the aquatic environment. |
