Lernkontrolle zum IKZM-Lehrbrief - IKZM Lehrbrief 2019

Question 1

Which of the following ‘actions and tools’ does not belong to SAF-step ‘System Design’?

List the formal actions necessary for official adoption of the plan or measure

Define administrative and virtual system boundaries

Develop a conceptual model and identify Ecological-Social-Economic (ESE) linkages

Ensure the involvement of all relevant institutions and stakeholders

Assess the system state and identify external hazards

Discuss potential management scenarios with stakeholders and define success criteria and indicators

Question 2

Which of the following statements about the ‘EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP)’ is wrong?

Being a minor fishing power, and a relatively small single market for fisheries products in the world, the EU is mainly observer in a number of international organisations

CFP is criticised by environmentalists for being overcentralized and not protecting fish stocks effectively

Only 2% of EU vessels´ catches are taken outside of EU waters

In the EU, aquaculture accounts for about 20% of fish production and directly employs about 85,000 people

The principal aim fisheries management is to ensure high long-term fishing yields for all stocks

The CFP points out the importance of fisheries conservation measures for the protection of the marine environment

Question 3

Which of the following statements about the ‘EU Water Framework Directive (WFD)’ is correct?

Surface water bodies sub-divide transitional and coastal waters and are the smallest management unit of the WFD

The WFD ensures a water management based on river basins

The WFD wants to expand the scope of water protection to all waters, surface waters and groundwater

Reference conditions are a description of the biological quality elements at high status

The programmes of measures were successfully implemented until 2015

Coastal water define surface waters between coastline and the national sea border

Question 4

Which of the following statements about Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is true?

‘Ecosystem based approach’ describes an approach that respects the limits of natural resources and ecosystems

Integrated Coastal Area Management (ICAM) is a complementary approach focusing on land-based activities

ICZM uses the informed participation and co-operation of all stakeholders to assess the societal goals in a given coastal area

In the EU, Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is defined as a dynamic, multi-disciplinary and iterative process to promote sustainable management of coastal zones

ICZM seeks to balance environmental, economic, social, cultural and recreational objectives

Sectoral management approaches can be beneficial for efficient use of resources, the utilization of opportunities towards a more sustainable coastal development

Question 5

Which of the following statements about ‘European Union (EU) Integrated Maritime Policy’ is true?

The Maritime Forum aims to improve communication amongst EU maritime policy stakeholders

EU Integrated Maritime Policy cross-cutting policies are e.g. blue growth, maritime spatial planning and marine data & knowledge

Regional seas, such as Baltic Sea, Black Sea or North Sea do not belong to the EU Integrated Maritime Policy cross-cutting policies but instead, have separate sea basin strategies

The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) organises the way humans use the oceans

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) – is the agency responsible for implementing the EU maritime policy

European Union has taken action for oceans and adopted the EU Integrated Maritime Policy

Question 6

The sectors that have a high potential for sustainable jobs and growth and are explicitly mentioned in the ‘EU Blue Growth Strategy’ in Europe are:

Shipping: low emission ships have a vast market and generate sustainable growth and jobs

Fisheries: since fish stock are increasing again the sector is on the rise

Ocean energy: could fuel economic growth through innovation and create new, high-quality jobs

Seabed mining: has the potential to generate sustainable growth and jobs for future generations

Coastal and maritime tourism: employing over 3.2 million people, this sector generates a total of € 183 billion in gross value added
