Question 1

Define administrative and virtual system boundaries

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

Assess the system state and identify external hazards

Installation of the administrative structure to ensures horizontal and vertical integration of management

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

Ensure the involvement of all relevant institutions and stakeholders

Question 2

Which of the following statements about ‘Maritime Spatial Planning in practice’ (MSP) is true

MSP is a continuing, iterative process that learns and adapts over time

MSP requires obligatory reporting to the EU MSP Platform

MSP usually has a local (community) to regional (district, federal state) spatial scale

MSP provides an integrated framework for management that provides a guide for, but does not replace, single-sector planning

MSP integrates major ideas of Integrated Coastal Zone Management

MSP can provide important contextual information for marine protected area management or for fisheries management

Question 3

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

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

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

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

The Littoral zone extends seawards from the foreshore to some distance beyond the breaker zone

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

In the United States of America, the coastal zone is defined seawards up to the continental shelf edge

Question 4

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

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

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

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

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

Question 5

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

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

For business problems

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

To model socio-ecological systems

For solving conflicts between stakeholder groups

To explore functional relationships between stakeholders that are affected by a particular problem

Question 6

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

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

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

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

The programmes of measures were successfully implemented until 2015

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