methods, ranging from simple to complex, are available to the analyst, and these can help
to underpin analysis. Mitigation measures come into play particularly at this stage.
However, the increasing sophistication of some methods does run the risk of cutting out
key actors, and especially the public, from the EIA process. Chapter 6 discusses the
important, but currently weak, role of public participation, the value of good presentation,
and approaches to EIS review and decision-making.
