摘要: Ecological assessment forms a fundamental part of environmental impact assessment. The quality ecological input in 15 Bahraini EIA reports concerning coastal and marine developments produced between 1996 2004 was evaluated using adopted criteria. overall indicated that eight were assessed as borderline quality, seven found to be poor quality. Major shortcomings included limited new surveys, inadequate evaluation impacts, neglecting cumulative long-term failing address adequately mitigation monitoring measures.
