The exploitation of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) with a large number of devices may have a major impact on wave in coastal areas. Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA) is a global environmental management tool. The progression of WEC has affected environmental research in EIA. In Malaysia, the activities specified in the Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact Assessment) order 1987 is under the requirement of EIA. The objective of this paper is to establish the list environmental possible threat and to investigate the environmental impact of WEC construction project implementation in Pulau Mantanani Besar and identify which suitable method for this WEC project. The research method is a descriptive analysis. Field surveys, case studies and surveys were conducted to collect data from local, community, marine and government agencies, as well as expert interviews with Jabatan Alam Sekitar, Jabatan Laut Sabah and Sabah Park. The expected outcome of this project is conduct list of environmental impact assessment of WEC project during the construction phase.

Abstract

The exploitation of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) with a large number of devices may have a major impact on wave in coastal areas. Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA) is a global environmental management tool. The progression of WEC has affected environmental research in EIA. In Malaysia, the activities specified in the Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact Assessment) order 1987 is under the requirement of EIA. The objective of this paper is to establish the list environmental possible threat and to investigate the environmental impact of WEC construction project implementation in Pulau Mantanani Besar and identify which suitable method for this WEC project. The research method is a descriptive analysis. Field surveys, case studies and surveys were conducted to collect data from local, community, marine and government agencies, as well as expert interviews with Jabatan Alam Sekitar, Jabatan Laut Sabah and Sabah Park. The expected outcome of this project is conduct list of environmental impact assessment of WEC project during the construction phase. There will be a proposed investigation steps to overcome this project.
