| GES description | D7 Hydrographical changes | En bestående förändring av de hydrografiska villkoren påverkar inte de marina ekosystemen på ett negativt sätt. Permanent alteration of hydrographical conditions does not adversely affect marine ecosystems. |
Human-induced, permanent hydrographical alterations have only local effects and are formulated taking into consideration what is environmentally justifiable, technically possible and economically feasible in order to prevent damage to the environment. |
Good environmental status for the North Sea is achieved when permanent changes in the hydrographic condition have local effects only on the basis of human intervention and these effects do not, either individually or cumulatively, have adverse impacts on the marine ecosystems (species, habitats, ...

Permanent alteration of hydrographical conditions does not harm the marine ecosystems |
Permanent alteration of hydrographical conditions does not adversely affect marine ecosystems. |
Good environmental status is achieved when the nature and extent of permanent changes in hydrographic conditions (which include, inter alia, turbidity, sediments, currents, waves, bathymetry, salinity, temperature) resulting from anthropogenic activities (individually and cumulatively), apart fro...
|
The nature and scale of any permanent changes to the prevailing hydrographical conditions (including but not limited to salinity, temperature, pH and hydrodynamics) resulting from anthropogenic activities (individual and cumulative), having taken into account climatic or long-term cyclical processes in the marine environment, do not lead to significant long term impacts on those biological components considered under Descriptors 1,4, and 6. |
Good status is achieved when the nature and scale of any permanent changes (individual and cumulative) to the prevailing hydrographical conditions resulting from large-scale anthropogenic activities such as coastal defence works, damming of large rivers, land reclamation projects, and structures in open and coastal sea such as wind farms, ocean energy device arrays and large scale aquaculture facilities do not lead to significant long term impacts on marine ecosystems, in particular those biological components considered under Descriptors, 1, 4 and 6. |
Las condiciones hidrográficas e hidrodinámicas en la demarcación son naturales excepto localmente, en determinadas zonas afectadas por infraestructuras, siendo la extensión de éstas reducida en comparación con las zonas naturales y no causando daños irreversibles en hábitats bioénicos y hábitats protegidos. Los hábitats marinos evolucionan en consonancia con las condiciones climáticas reinantes. |

| D7C1 Permanent alteration of hydrographical conditions (7.1, 7.1.1) | Permanenta förändringar av hydrografiska förhållanden genom enskilda eller samverkande verksamheter har inte sådan karaktär eller omfattning att ekosystemet påverkas negativt. |
The nature and scale of any long-term changes to the prevailing hydrographical conditions from anthropogenic activities (individual and cumulative) in the marine environment do not lead to significant negative impacts at a species, population or ecosystem level. |

| D7C2 Adverse effects from permanent alteration of hydrographical conditions (7.2, 7.2.1, 7.2.2) | Den faktiska påverkan på livsmiljöer till följd av bestående hydrografiska förändringar påverkar inte livsmiljöernas utbredning samt den långsiktiga fortlevnaden för associerade arter och samhällen negativt. 7.2 The actual impact on habitats as a consequence of permanent hydrographic alterations does not adversely affect the distribution of habitats or the long-term survival of associated species and communities. |
This at least implies that the changes in flow patterns resulting from concerned human activities are in such a way that erosion and sedimentation remain balanced. |
