Resumen

This Act spells out the duties of the Government in the field of environment protection, makes provision for the prevention and reduction of pollution, the protection to the Flora and Fauna, for environmental impact assessments, and deals with civil damages and punishment of offences. It shall be the duty of the Minister to establish directives and codes of practice concerning the quality of the environment in accordance with sections 4 to 7. The Minister may, so that species of the flora and fauna be safeguarded, issue regulations declaring a particular species of Flora or Fauna a protected species and may also declare a specified area of these Islands or the territorial waters a Nature Reserve (sect. 32). Before any organ of Government grants a permit for the execution of a project which is likely to have an impact on the environment, the Minister shall be informed by the Authority competent to allow the permit, of the application for such permit and the Minister shall, within three months from the receipt of such information, copy such an assessment to that organ of Government. No government project which will substantially change the environment shall be executed before being submitted to the Minister for an assessment of the environmental impact (sect. 39). The President on the advice of the Prime Minister shall by notice in the Gazette appoint an Authority of Review to hear and determine notices of objection made under any provision of this Act (sect. 44).
