Uranium rush could put pressure on coastal towns PDF Print E-mail

THE Namibian Coast Conservation and Management (NACOMA) project is inviting the coastal public to provide input and comments regarding the development of environmental management plans for the towns of Lüdertiz, Oranjemund, Swakopmund and Henties Bay.
Rod Braby, Coordinator of the NACOMA project, said residents of these towns should consider issues affecting their environment, such as water use, energy consumption, waste management, transport and green spaces.
Climate change and its possible impact on these towns could be another concern.   
He said society is realising the need to become more environmentally conscious and innovative measures need to be taken to ensure that resources are available for future generations to prosper.  
The Uranium Rush, for example, is expected to result in an increase in population, ancillary industries, housing development, transportation and other infrastructure in Swakopmund and possibly Henties Bay.  Similar pressures exist in the other coastal towns.
The Ministry of Environment and Tourism through the NACOMA project has contracted the Southern African Institute for Environmental Assessment (SAIEA) to develop environmental management plans (EMPs) for the four coastal towns.
The Walvis Bay Municipality has already developed f ironmental its management plan, with the aid of Danida and sponsored by the Walvis Bay Local Agenda 21 project in 2003.
The project is expected to be completed by September 2010.
Important too is that these coastal towns are all adjacent to national parks, making it more important to prevent habitat degradation, impacts on rare and endangered species and loss of “sense of place” in and around the towns.
Public meetings will be held at each of the towns in the early evening for anyone interested, the preliminary schedule is as follows:
Swakopmund:     12 July 2010
Henties Bay:         13 July 2010
Oranjemund:     19 July 2010
Lüdertiz:         21 July 2010.
