GES description
The construction or operation of installations at the beach, the seabed or sea do not significantly alter the hydrographic conditions of the area, such as waves, currents, salinity and temperature. Permanent changes in hydrographical conditions are estimated as the share of the modified area of the total sea area.
Hydrographical changes on the beach or the seabed do not give rise to a significant reduction in natural habitats. Permanent changes in hydrographical conditions are estimated as the share of the modified area of the total surface area.
