Strategic Environmental Assessment
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is the process by which environmental considerations are required to be fully integrated into the preparation of Plans and Programmes and prior to their final adoption.
Biological water quality assessments
Freshwater biological water quality assessments have become an essential part of water resource management due to its effectiveness in determining the health of a body of water. ECOFACT undertakes freshwater biological water quality assessments, where the presence of indicator species are calculated against a number of standard biotic indices in order to provide a baseline biological water quality rating for a watercourse.
Ecological Impact Assessment
Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) assesses the potential effects of a development on habitats and species; particularly those protected by national and international legislation or considered to be of particular nature conservation importance. EcIA is an integral part of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and also the Appropriate Assessment process.
