CMM Online Test - IKZM Lehrbrief 2019

Question 1

Which of the following statements is true? ‘CATWOE analysis’ can be used…

To model socio-ecological systems

For business problems

To gain a broader understanding of a problem

For solving conflicts between stakeholder groups

To brainstorm and broaden ones thinking and perspective about a particular problem

To describe the cause-and-effect chain of a problem

Question 2

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

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

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

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

Question 3

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

Intestinal enterococci and Escherichia coli (E. coli) are parameters to assess the quality of bathing waters

Escherichia coli (E. coli) are common ubiquitous bacteria in marine environment

Other parameters could be taken into account, such as the presence of cyanobacteria or microalgae

A revised and updated BWD was adopted in 2016

Intention of the BWD is to provide information to citizens about quality of their bathing waters

The first BWD was adopted already in 1976

Question 4

Which of the following qualitative descriptors are used in the ‘EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD)’ to determine the Good Environmental Status

Properties and quantities of marine litter do not cause harm to the coastal and marine environment

Introduction of energy, including underwater noise, is at levels that do not adversely affect the marine environment

Bathing water quality does not pose any risk to the population

Concentrations of contaminants are at levels not giving rise to pollution effects

Permanent alteration of hydrographical conditions does not adversely affect marine ecosystems

Non-indigenous species introduced by human activities are at levels that do not adversely alter the ecosystems

Question 5

Which of the following statements about ‘ICZM History in Europe’ is true?

Concrete recommendations on Integrated Coastal Zone Management in Europe were adopted in 2002

In Europe, ICZM is still high on the political agenda and has kept a strong environmental focus

The United Nations Earth Summit of Rio de Janeiro in 1992 initiated the development of focussed European Union policy on ICZM

In 2000, the European Parliament adopted the legally binding directive ‘Integrated Coastal Zone Management: A Strategy for Europe’

The EU Directive on establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning was adopted in 2014

The Demonstration Programme pointed out that ‘there has been inadequate involvement of the stakeholders in formulating and implementing solutions to coastal problems’

Question 6

Which of the following facts with respect to ‘Definitions’ is true?

Transitional waters are surface waters in the vicinity of river mouths which are partly saline, but influenced by freshwater flows

In the European Union, the coastal zone is defined as the zone between shoreline and 3 km inland from the coast

Territorial waters extend at most 12 nautical miles from the baseline of a coastal state

The Coastline is the line that forms the boundary between the coast and the shore

In the European Union, the offshore boundary of coastal waters is one nautical mile of the baseline

Coastal seas in Europe are the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, The Caspian Sea, the Sea of Okhotsk, the North Sea, and the Baltic Sea
