The Kuiseb Delta Community and investors from Walvis Bay and Swakopmund were awarded small MGs to invest in projects that support sustainable development. The proposed projects are located in the Kuiseb Delta and Dune Belt areas in Erongo Region. It is against this background that NACOMA commissioned this study on behalf of the applicants (Proponents) to conduct an Environmental Assessment (EA) covering Scoping (Vol. 1 of 3), this Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Vol. 2 of 3 report and develop an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) Vol. 3 of 3 report. The overall aim of the study is to reconfirm the carrying capacity of the Kuiseb Delta to community based tourism and Dune Belt Area to various conflicting resource use activities. There are also other activities in the area, such as quad-biking, cultural, sightseeing and eco-tours operating in the proposed projects and the surrounding areas. The nature and coverage of the existing and proposed activities and their likely negative impacts on the sensitive coastal environment resulted in the proposed EA study area being extended beyond the proposed projects areas to include the Dune Belt, lower Kuiseb River and Delta Area.
