Natural Resource Damage Assessment

Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) is a process used to evaluate the impact of environmental disasters, like oil spills or chemical leaks, on natural resources. When these incidents occur, experts assess the harm to ecosystems, wildlife, and public resources. This assessment helps determine the extent of the damage, the necessary restoration efforts, and compensation owed by responsible parties. The goal of NRDA is to restore affected environments to their original condition, ensuring that damaged natural resources are rehabilitated for the benefit of the ecosystem and the public.
