Physical influences in Swedish coastal waters 1960 and onwards: Impact zones Physical influences in Swedish coastal waters 1960 and onwards: Impact zones

Substrates or layers for potential impact zones for the current period (the time closest to 2016); The impact zones show a rated risk (1-5) for the influence on morphological condition, hydrographic conditions and connectivity. The impact zones have been developed based on physical pressure and the sensitivity of the natural environment. The method by which the zones were developed takes into account the characteristics of the objects and of the surrounding environment, i.e. depth, wave exposure and geology or bottom substrate. The impact zones are not intended to be used in monitoring and planning in detail for individual objects, but on a more general level or scale.
