assessment of potential impacts on the environment. All survey locations shall cover the project
influence area and be referenced with Geographic Positioning System (GPS) including sampling
points.lnformation may be divided into the categories shown below:
Climate
. Temperature, rainfall, wind, waves,
o Natural Hazard Risks includingstorm surges, wind storms and tsunamis;
Geolog and geomomhologv
o Coastal Geomorphologr of Male' and Hulhule lsland;
. Bathymetry ofthe required sites(use maps);
. Characteristics of seabed sediments to assess direct habitat destnrction and turbidity impacts
during construction;
. Geotechnical investigations along the bridge proposed bridge foot print
Hydrographv/hydrodynamics (use maps)
o Tidal ranges and tidal currents;
. In Jit, wave measurements and description of wave conditions
Marine biological survev:
. Manta tow survey to determine the general benthic cover and reef condition along the study
area;
. Photo quadrat survey to determine coral species and percentage of coral cover at selected
transect lines.
o Timed swim carried out at bridge landing areas, to qualitatively determine the b€nthic
substrate composition at these locations;
o Fish census was carried at each survey location;
. Phytoplanldon,ZooplanktonandBenthoscommunitymonitoring
Terrestrial ecolog.v survey:
. Vegetation survey will be taken to identify nature vegetation types, their abundance and
occunence, and made a vegetation map;
. Together with the Vegetation survey, record the finding of Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds and
Mammals; Rare and endangered species.
Phvsical Environment survev:
o Baseline air quality monitoring shall be taken at Male'andHulhule;
o Ambient noise level shall be determined at Male'andHulhule,
. Sea water quality measuring these parameters: temperature, pH, salinity, turbidity,
sedimentation rate, phosphate, nitrate, ammoni4 sulphate, BOD and COD;
o The Results of the borehole survey and the extent ofthe work done;
. Groundwater quality monitoringincluding temperature, salinity, conductivity, pH, nitrates,
phosphates ) taken at Male'andHulhule construction camp and bridge landing sites.
Socio-economic environment
. Demo€raphy: total population, sex ratio, density, growth and pressure on land and marine
resources;
. Economic activities of both men and women (e.g. fisheries, home gardening, fish processing,
employment in industry, govemment);
Land use planning, natural resource use and zoning ofactivities at sea;
