Description [Targets] |
All developments that may give rise to significant permanent changes in the hydrographical regime of currents, waves, or sediments must comply with the existing regulatory regimes and guidance should be followed to ensure that regulatory assessments are undertaken in a way that ensures the full consideration of any potential impacts, including cumulative effects at the most appropriate spatial scales to ensure that GES is not compromised. |

Compatibility with existing targets/indicators |
Some compatibility with hydromorphological conditions under the WFD. However, MSFD Annex III Table 1 lists characteristics not included under WFD Annex II (1.2.4 coastal waters system B) (OSPAR, MSFD Advice document on GES– D7. 17 January 2012). |
