Padma Multipurpose Bridge Project

Parameter Location Means of Monitoring Frequency Responsible AgencyImplemented By Supervised Bybe performed once in a year. Oncerecognized laboratorythe remote sensing image of thatyear become available,classification of the ecosystems willbe done. Ecosystems found fromthe images will be visited and aspecies assessment will be madeas described in the design phase.Faunal Monitoring In the Project are Similar to construction phasemonitoring of faunal resources willbe performed once in a year at thepost-construction period. Faunalresource survey will coincide withfloral resource survey as it willprovide more insight about theinter-dependency between floraand fauna in an ecosystem.YearlyBBA through nationallyrecognized laboratoryExternal MonitorGangeticmonitoringDolphinWithin 2 km bufferarea from bridgelocationPart of the faunal monitoringGangetic Dolphin will also bemonitored once in a year.
