This document summarizes an environmental impact assessment and cost-benefit analysis for a proposed port development project in Savusavu, Fiji. The objectives of the project are to support regional development goals and address transportation issues facing the outer islands. The presentation outlines the project site and goals, analyzes environmental impacts and mitigation measures, discusses economic and financial feasibility studies, and concludes that the project is viable if proper safeguards are implemented.

Environmental impacts and mitigation
Measures
• Screening - potential impacts were categorized; defined as
being adverse, positive, or no impact, environmental and
social significance of the impacted area and the probability of
the impact actually occurring.
• Mitigation Measures:
• Avoiding the impact (e.g. realign a road to avoid a protected
area);
• Minimizing the impact (e.g. put tarps on trucks carrying
excavated material);
• Rectifying the impact (e.g. rehabilitate areas where
construction destroyed
• forests); or
• Compensating for the impact (e.g. providing financial
compensation for those who will lose land or structures).

Economic Assessment
• The value of increased export earnings over 15 years are projected in Table 28.
The benefits are assumed to be constant after year 10; Agriculture
• First year projected=160 containers of additional exports, of which 50 will be taro.
• The estimated exports is $2.6 million, of which around $1.1 million is valued
added (direct addition to GDP).
• Over a 10 year period, the number of containers increases to over 1,000 the
estimated to $17.4 million and $7.4 in value added
