Richard Newell Associates is able to advise on the scope and scale of surveys that may be required to support Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) surveys of estuarine and near-shore waters.
It is often necessary to carry out a fairly wide-ranging appraisal of environmental resources where there are several projects that may together have an impact on environmental resources.
Such a wide-ranging appraisal helps determine not only the localised impacts of specific infrastructure developments but also identifies areas supporting resources that might require specific conservation measures.
In March 2011 Richard advised CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research (CMAR) on the environmental impacts of marine aggregate dredging in Australia.
March 2011 launch of the MALSF Science Monograph Series - Edited by Richard Newell Associates.
