Description parameter	The assessment of pressure from hydrographic changes is based on the estimate of physical seabed losses, which amount to 5.62 km² or 2.6 % of the total area of marine waters under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Slovenia. This also leads to the conclusion that the areas are modified hydrographically, but the extent of the modified area is certainly smaller due to hydrographic changes alone, since certain activities may represent permanent losses from the point of view of habitat types, but not from the point of view of hydrographic changes.

Description overall status	Little is known about hydrographic changes in the area of marine waters under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Slovenia. There is currently no adequate monitoring in marine waters under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Slovenia, and assessment methodologies and limit values are still under development.	The assessment of pressure from hydrographic changes is based on the estimate of physical seabed losses, which amount to 5.62 km² or 2.6 % of the total area of marine waters under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Slovenia. This also leads to the conclusion that the areas are modified hydrographically, but the extent of the modified area is certainly smaller due to hydrographic changes alone, since certain activities may represent permanent losses from the point of view of habitat types, but not from the point of view of hydrographic changes.
