This Addendum ‘Assigning Ecological Value to Marine Benthic Habitats’ introduces marine ecosystems to the Ecology Impact Assessment Guidelines.

The 2^nd Edition of the Ecology Impact Assessment (EcIA) Guidelines has been updated to incorporate feedback and comments from a range of individuals, professional bodies and interest groups. The Guidelines contribute to raising the standard of practice of ecological assessment in New Zealand and provide a reference document.

This Professional Practice Guide has been prepared by EIANZ’s Environmental Accounting Special Interest Section to serve as a practical reference for members.

EIANZ's Impact Assessment (IA) Special Interest Section has developed resources to support effective implementation of IA. Documents have been prepared by experienced IA practitioners within the SIS-IA to provide guidance on good practice.
