Question 1

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

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

To gain a broader understanding of a problem

For solving conflicts between stakeholder groups

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

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

To map stakeholders that might be affected by an issue

Question 2

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

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

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

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

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

Question 3

Which of the following statements related to the ‘EU Floods Directive’ is correct?

The Directive asks for a comprehensive economic assessment of costs and benefits of flood protection

All assessments, maps and plans prepared shall be made available to the public

The Directive regulates the relationship between nature protection and flood protection (e.g. sand nourishments)

Flood risk management plans and Water Framework Directive river basin management plans shall be coordinated

The Directive requires to assess if water courses and coastlines are at risk from flooding

The implementation of flood protection measures has to be accompanied by an ecosystem service assessment

Question 4

Which of the following statements about ‘Sustainability Indicators’ is true?

Sustainability indicators can be applied to concrete case studies to assess the success of measures

Sustainable indicators provide immediate and concrete benefits for coastal communities

Sustainability indicators in ICZM are mostly used on a global and national level

In ICZM sustainability indicators have been applied to assess sustainable development and progress towards ICZM implementation

On a local and regional level, general acceptance of sustainability indicators is low

Indicator-based sustainability assessments of sustainability are required by the MSP Directive

Question 5

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

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

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

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

Assess the system state and identify external hazards

Ensure the involvement of all relevant institutions and stakeholders

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

Question 6

Which of the following statements about ‘State of ICZM (in Europe)’ is true?

Major ideas of ICZM are widely accepted and aspects are included in most recent strategic and policy documents and directives

ICZM still suffers from weaknesses, such as insufficient political and legal status or the lack of a consistent and applicable process for practitioners and policy makers

The problems in our coastal zones are largely solved and the competition for space is successfully addressed by maritime spatial planning

To strengthen ICZM, a guided, systematic, stepwise, user-friendly approach is necessary

The Barcelona Convention with its Protocol on ICZM re-vitalized ICZM in Europe and caused the implementation of several national and regional ICZM plans

During recent years, ICZM largely vanished from the national and European political agenda
