Ecological Impact Assessment
As defined by the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management ''Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) is a process of identifying, quantifying and evaluating the potential effects of development-related or other proposed actions on habitats, species and ecosystems''.
While Hydrec Environmental Consulting routinely carry out ecological impacts assessments as part of the course for AA and E.I.A.R assessments, stand alone reports can be prepared for the appraisal of projects that are deemed to have a potential impact on habitats or species protected by national and international legislation.
​
Owing to our geographical information system (GIS) skill set, detailed habitat mapping at appropriate scales will accompany all of our comprehensive EcIA reports.
