Question 1

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

The WFD ensures a water management based on river basins

Transitional waters are partly saline surface water bodies in the vicinity of river mouths

Biological quality elements (fish, benthic, invertebrates, aquatic flora) are used to describe the good ecological status of water bodies

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

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

The programmes of measures were successfully implemented until 2015

Question 2

Which of the following ‘actions and tools’ belongs to SAF-step ‘Issue Identification’?

Check if a System Approach Framework is really needed

Identify potential issues

Map ecosystem services and stakeholder preferences

Map stakeholders and list human activities

Apply a Geographical Information System for a final spatial analysis

Identify relevant environmental, social & economic elements

Question 3

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

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

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

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

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

The CFP aims to ensure that fishing and aquaculture are environmentally, economically and socially sustainable and that they provide a source of healthy food

CFP goal is to foster a dynamic fishing industry and ensure a fair standard of living for fishing communities

Question 4

Which of the following statements about ‘Integrated Coastal Zone Management cycle’ is true?

The Ecological-Social-Economic (ESE) Assessment is an alternative approach to the Systems Approach Framework

ICZM is a well-defined, stepwise, iterative and linear process

The Systems Approach Framework provides a new stepwise guide to sustainable ICZM

Systems Approach Framework covers the steps Initiation, Planning, Implementation as well as Monitoring and Evaluation

ICZM approaches developed during the early 2000s are well suitable for practical applications and caused many successful local case studies

The Systems Approach Framework allows a team to develop a management strategy, based on interaction between science, policy and stakeholders

Question 5

Which of the following is a target of the ‘EU Biodiversity Strategy’?

Minimize human-induced eutrophication

Reduce contaminants in fish and other seafood

Maintain and restore ecosystems

Make fishing more sustainable and seas healthier

Help stop the loss of global biodiversity

Combat invasive alien species

Question 6

Which of the following statements about Sustainable Development and Agenda 21 is true?

Sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs

One sustainable development goal is that states should conserve at least 40 per cent of their coastal and marine areas

The Agenda 21 reflects a global consensus and political commitment but does not include concrete management-related activities

The follow-up ‘2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’ was not signed because of differences of opinion and a lack of political commitment

The Agenda 21 addresses the pressing problems of today and also aims at preparing the world for the challenges of the next century

The regional Baltic 2030 Action Plan wants to realize a common vision of sustainable development in the Baltic
