Case Decision - 197958

The Maritime and Underwater Cultural Heritage (MUCH) unit at the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) would like to thank you for submitting the Final Situation Assessment Report (SAR) for the development of an Estuarine Management Plan (EMP) for the Kowie Estuary, in Port Alfred in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Although it is not a legislative requirement that SAHRA issues a comment during this process, as set out in the 2021 National Estuarine Management Protocol (NEMP), there are MUCH resources within the Kowie Estuary that SAHRA is mandared to protect.
The letter that was issued on the 28th of February 2022 on the Draft SAR made mention of several additions to be made to the SAR and SAHRA is pleased to see that these have been incorporated into the Final SAR. SAHRA looks forward to receiving the Draft EMP and to see how heritage has been considered therein.
Please not that all updates and/or changes to the project, supporting documentation, correspondence, reports, or any other work relating to the project must be uploaded to the case on SAHRIS to provide SAHRA with the opportunity to comment. SAHRA does not accept emailed documents or hard-copy documents received via post.
