Hamad Port Sustainability Initiatives 2017
New Port Project Steering Committee
During the course of Qatar Sustainability Week 2017, the New Port Project’s environmental experts will be completing the final environmental monitoring of the 139,117 mangroves which have been relocated to safety during the construction works. Since being relocated over three years ago,the mangroves have been continually surveyed to monitor their growth and survival. Similar relocation andr ehabilitation programs were implemented for corals (11,595) and seagrass(14,257 m2) during Hamad Port construction. Hamad Port also committed to the sustainability of the built environmentthough the construction of over 100 certified sustainable buildings, diverting over 70,000 tonnes of construction waste away from landfill, performing over 8500 emissions tests, etc. The consideration of sustainability concepts has extended to each of environmental, social, and economic aspects. Further information, including videos showing the relocation process and monitoring, can be found at http://www.npp.com.qa/EnvironmentalProtection.html
