Target description |
All developments must meet the requirements of the existing legal regime (for example the Environmental Management Act and the Nature Protection Act) and legal assessments must be carried out in such a way that the potential effects of permanent changes in hydrographic properties, including cumulative effects, consideration should be given to the most appropriate spatial scale on the basis of the guidelines developed for this purpose. (EUNIS level 3, reference year 2012).

Target assessment description |
The initial assessment (2012) indicated that the decline of the seabed ecosystem and diadromous fish species in the coastal zone can be explained in part by permanent hydrographic effects of the Delta Works and Maasvlakte 1 and 2. These works are of national importance and are considered irreversible. It was therefore concluded in 2012 that there is a need for good environmental status. This good environmental status has been maintained in the recent period by imposing requirements on new activities when granting permits.
