Impacts on soil<br />

Land traffic<br />

Water pollution;<br />

During construction of the bridge, some chemicals and oils spillages may<br />

occur, and have adverse effects on the marine water<br />

Permanent loss of corals and sessile organisms;<br />

Depending on the pile foundation location, some corals and sessile organisms<br />

maybe destroyed in the process.<br />

Near construction areas;<br />

Land connection construction areas will destroy some plants<br />

Water pollution;<br />

Some chemicals and oils spillages may occur, and have adverse effects on the<br />

ground water<br />

Impacts on soil and land capability<br />

Will predominantly be felt during construction activities land connection<br />

construction areas<br />

Near land connection construction areas & temporary construction<br />

areas;<br />

Roads near the land connection construction areas & temporary construction<br />

areas might have to be closed/diverted during the construction phase<br />

Significance<br />

coastal morphology<br />

Insignificant – Spillages are<br />

very unlikely<br />

Reversible<br />

Moderately Significant –The<br />

pile foundation will be huge,<br />

but live coral coverage is very<br />

low at proposed sites<br />

Reversible Moderately Significant –<br />

Dozens of trees need to be<br />

ported<br />

Near pile foundation;<br />

The sea route between Male’ and Hulhule might have to be temporarily<br />
