Method used
he main approach to developing what characterizes Good environmental status for each target mainly follows the approach described in section 4.3 of the Common understanding document. This means that, for Article 9, qualitative descriptions have been produced at the criterion level for all 29 crit...
Description [Targets]
Permanent changes in hydrographic conditions that result from large-scale operations, individual or collaborative, must not adversely affect biodiversity and ecosystems. Permanent alterations in hydrographic conditions owing to large-scale activities, either individual or collaborative, may not adversely affect biological diversity and ecosystems.
Permanent changes in hydrographic conditions through individual or collaborative activities do not have such a character or extent that the ecosystem is adversely affected. 7.1 Permanent alterations of hydrographic conditions through individual or collaborative activities do not have the nature or magnitude to cause negative impacts on the ecosystem.
The actual impact on habitats as a result of permanent hydrographic changes does not adversely affect the extent of the habitats and the long-term survival of associated species and communities. 7.2 The actual impact on habitats as a consequence of permanent hydrographic alterations does not adve...
