Further more helpsIidentify the possibleIenvironmental effectsIof a certain project activities and howIthose impacts can beImitigated.

Both of the EIA documents focused on identifying certain most likely impacts on the physical environment(8), as wellIas social, cultural, and healthIimpacts.

The choosen projects were both type grey projects(B) , so they both accourding to the EEAA don’t require a full EIA report but are most likely to cause severe enviromental impacts . The tools used in the Marine Structures in El SharmIEl QuibleIregion on the coastal area of the RedISea were checklists while the other case study focused its impact assesment on conducting a Leopold Matrix .
