4 .Conclusion

The environmental impact assessment process consists of multistepIprocedure to ensure thatIenvironmental

considerationsIare included in decisionsIregardingIprojects that may impact theIenvironment. Further more

helpsIidentify the possibleIenvironmental effectsIof a certain project activities and howIthose impacts can

beImitigated.

Similary, how it was found on the EIAs established for the two choosen case studies. 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 .

After identifying certain revalent impacts of the two project. The comprehended EIA reports provided

clarification on how standard EIA tools such checklists and matrices were able to justify which

enviromental impacts could be avoided or neglected and which one are the most essential in terms of

conducting a standard EIA . According To the two tools selected as the aim of study which is the (suitability

of the tool) for the two case studies. it was justified that why certain tool was used in one project and not

the other.
