Lernkontrolle zum IKZM-Lehrbrief - IKZM Lehrbrief 2019

Question 1

Which of the following statements about ‘Sustainability Indicators’ is true?

On a local and regional level, general acceptance of sustainability indicators is low

Sustainability indicators can be applied to concrete case studies to assess the success of measures

Sustainable indicators provide immediate and concrete benefits for coastal communities

Sustainability indicators in ICZM are mostly used on a global and national level

In ICZM sustainability indicators have been applied to assess sustainable development and progress towards ICZM implementation

Indicator-based sustainability assessments of sustainability are required by the MSP Directive

Question 2

Which of the following statements about the ‘Habitats Directive & Natura 2000’ is true?

Nature reserves, national parks or other nationally or regionally protected sites are automatic Natura 2000 sites and are managed jointly under the Habitats Directive

Natura 2000 sites have been designated specifically to protect core areas for a sub-set of species or habitat types listed in the Habitats and Birds Directives

The Habitats Directive aims to promote the maintenance of biodiversity, taking account of economic, social, cultural and regional requirements

Over 10000 animal and plant species, as well as 2000 habitat types are protected in the EU

Until 2018, the 28 EU member States protected only 1.8 % of the total territory in 200 single sites under Natura 2000

The Habitats Directive is a core element in implementing the EU Biodiversity Strategy

Question 3

For what purpose can the ‘DPSIR/DAPSI(W)RM Framework’ be applied within coastal and marine management?

To calculate cumulative impacts of coastal and marine activities

To map stakeholders

To generate a common understanding of an issue/problem, its causes and consequences

As a basis for generating conceptual models to analyse a problem in more detail

To assess progress towards sustainability

To review coastal and marine management plans

Question 4

Which of the following statements about ‘ICZM – Tools & Approaches’ is true? Decision support tools (DSTs)…

Include a wide variety of tools ranging for instance from environmental descriptors to economic and social evaluations

Include tools that are applied to support participation processes

Include tools that are directly applied by authorities to decide on a management option

Include quantitative assessment tools with a low level of uncertainty

Are used to support science and policy

Are heavily used in practice to support decision making processes

Question 5

Which of the following statements related to the ‘Baltic Sea – State, Trends & Challenges’ is correct?

The assessment of fish from a biodiversity perspective indicates good status in about half of the assessed coastal areas

In 2009, about 13 wind farms existed in the Baltic Sea. Until 2030 the number could increase to 67 offshore wind farms

Three out of nine assessed commercial fish stocks are in good status with respect to both biomass and fishing mortality rates

In 1992, HELCOM listed 162 major pollution hot spots in the Baltic Sea Region. In 2019, 19 industrial hot spots and 23 municipal or combined municipal and industrial sites still existed

12 % of the Baltic Sea is protected through marine protected areas and the Baltic Sea is worldwide leading in this respect

The Baltic Sea accounts for up to 15% of the world’s cargo transportation. The number of commercial ships in the Baltic Sea is expected to double by 2030
