SNH has alsocommented on the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) produced on behalf ofMelbourne Marine Services by Aquatera.SNH’s comments on the EIA included the view that therewas insufficient information to ascertain that the proposals would notadversely affect the integrity of the European sites. Since submitting theircomments in December 2005, SNH has been in discussion with Forth Ports to helpclarify the further information which they believe is required for theappropriate assessments of the implications for the three Natura sites, namelythe Firth of Forth SPA, the Forth Islands SPA and the Isle of May SAC.I understand that Forth Ports are carrying out furtherrevisions to the EIA and are also undertaking appropriate assessments for thethree European sites.
