For the whole territorial sea (seaward side of the baseline), the monitoring data showing the seasonal pattern over the last years demonstrate that all basic hydrographical parameters lie within the range of natural variability.

The pressures arising from permanent hydrographical changes in the German coastal and territorial waters are higher than in marine waters of the EEZ. Pressures arising from hydrographical changes are primarily found in the permanent deterioration of the seabed due to sand and gravel extraction, the construction of cable routes, pipelines, offshore wind installations and other installations, as well as the maintenance of fairways and dumping of dredging material. Impacts can take the form of habitat loss (e.g. overbuilding) or change of habitats. However, for all benthic habitats, the greatest pressures stem from the input of nutrients and related secondary effects as well as fisheries touching the seabed.
