Terrestrial Ecology section of the EIA for the proposed desalination plant at Mile 6 Presented by: Dr. Juliane Zeidler Reagan Chunga Integrated Environmental Consultants Namibia (IECN) 04 February 2009

Background  Coast: unique biodiversity, of global significance  Many endemic animals, breeding bird colonies, specialised fog-dependent lichens & vegetation, succulent flora, reptiles etc.  Around 1,6 million birds belonging to 73 species regularly occur along the coastline; up to 770 birds per km of beach  SEA calls for no developments; cumulative effects to be considered  The construction and operation of desalination plant and supporting infrastructure will negatively affect on the terrestrial ecology

Envisaged main Terrestrial Ecological issues  Key issue 1: Site selection and extent of operation; industrial processes  Key issue 2: Biodiversity conservation, esp. endemics  Key issue 3: Sustainability of ecosystem services

Methodology Site visit and field assessment of proposed sites/area for all infrastructure to be developedSite visit and field assessment of proposed sites/area for all infrastructure to be developed  Focal walks  Transects (as appropriate/necessary)  Mapping – if required Review of relevant documentationReview of relevant documentation Focal interviews (Rod Braby, Dr. Joh Henschel)Focal interviews (Rod Braby, Dr. Joh Henschel) Prepare draft reportPrepare draft report Revisions based on reviewsRevisions based on reviews Potentially follow-up site visitsPotentially follow-up site visits

Further information required  Full extend and location of infrastructure  Final operations (e.g. braine disposal) – potential compounded and associated impacts Overall issue:  Cumulative effects should be considered for all developments (SEA)
