CMM Online Test - IKZM Lehrbrief 2019

Question 1

Which of the following steps does not belong to the development and implementation of ‘Maritime Spatial Planning’ (MSP) according to Ehler & Douvere

Organizing stakeholder participation

Approving, implementing and enforcing the spatial management plan

A Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the spatial management plan

Adapting the maritime spatial management process

Monitoring and evaluating performance

Defining and analysing existing conditions and future conditions

Question 2

Which of the following statements related to ‘Baltic Sea - Helsinki Convention’ is correct?

The HELCOM-PRESSURE group controls the implementation of international policies according to the timetables in the BSR

The Helsinki Commission meets annually and decides on legally binding environmental laws for the BSR

HELCOM sees itself as a developing, supervisory and coordinating body with respect to the BSR

The HELCOM-GEAR group promotes the implementation of the ecosystem approach and supports region-wide co-operation on all elements of national marine strategies

HELCOM sees itself as an environmental policy maker and focal point for the Baltic Sea Region (BSR)

HELCOM funds the implementation of major environmental EU directives

Question 3

Which of the following statements about climate change and the ‘EU Climate Change Strategy’ is correct?

Several recent model-based studies and expert assessments have suggested an upper boundary for the global mean sea level rise in the 21st century in the range of 1.5–2.0 m

Sea surface temperature is projected to increase faster than atmospheric temperature

Some water-borne diseases, such as vibriosis infections are likely to increase with increasing sea surface temperatures

A first ‘EU strategy on adaptation to climate change’ was adopted already in 1990 and aimed at promoting research on climate change

The ‘EU strategy on adaptation to climate change’ adopted in 2013 aims to make Europe more climate-resilient and to enhance the preparedness to respond to the impacts of climate change

Oxygen-depleted zones in the Baltic Sea have increased more than 10-fold since 1900

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

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

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

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

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 facts about ‘State of Europe’s Seas’ is true?

Almost 70% of the world's known marine mammal species can be found in Europe's regional seas

An increasing sea level (1.7 mm/year) changes the shape of coastlines, contributes to coastal erosion and leads to flooding and more underground salt-water intrusion

Over 650 marine fish species are thought to inhabit European seas

Over 180 species of marine birds are found throughout Europe's seas

Across the regional seas of Europe, 50 different seabed habitat types are identified

Only 7 % of marine species are in an unfavourable conservation status

Question 6

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

Obtain legal permits and validate decision

Evaluate the need for additional data requirements

Ensure pro-active public information/consultation

Specify regulatory and financial requirements

Ensure the required mitigation measures are implemented
