ABSTRACT:
The paper deals with the main steps carried out by D'Appolonia, together with the technical designers, to identify, assess and mitigate, when unavoidable, the potential environmental and social impacts due to a natural gas pipe laying in offshore and nearshore waters: namely the Italian section of the IGI -Poseidon project.. The paper describes the identifications of natural and social local elements of sensitivity, which represent a fundamental step in the process of techniques and routing selection and for the choice of proper mitigation measures
