CMM Online Test - IKZM Lehrbrief 2019

Question 1

For what purpose can the ‘DPSIR/DAPSI(W)RM Framework’ be applied within coastal and marine management?

To guide stakeholder discussion systematically

To calculate cumulative impacts of coastal and marine activities

As a basis for generating conceptual models to analyse a problem in more detail

To review coastal and marine management plans

To map stakeholders

To assess progress towards sustainability

Question 2

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

Recently, the number of improving trends outweighs the number of deteriorating trends in the monitored hazardous substances

12 % of the Baltic Sea is protected through marine protected areas and the Baltic Sea is worldwide leading in this respect

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

Around 140 non-indigenous species have so far been recorded in the Baltic Sea

97 % of the Baltic Sea area is affected by eutrophication and 12 % is assessed as being in the worst status category

Three out of nine assessed commercial fish stocks are in good status with respect to both biomass and fishing mortality rates

Question 3

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

To gain a broader understanding of a problem

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

For solving conflicts between stakeholder groups

For business problems

To map stakeholders that might be affected by an issue

Question 4

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

The EU Strategy on ICZM and the subsequent ICZM Recommendations caused a lot of activities all over Europe

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

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

The EC-Directive on ‘establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning’ of 2014 includes major ICZM elements

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

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

Question 5

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

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

HELCOM funds the implementation of major environmental EU directives

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

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

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

Question 6

Which of the following statements about ‘European Union (EU) Integrated Maritime Policy’ is true?

EU Integrated Maritime Policy largely replaced single sector-based policy

Goal 14 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is ‘to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources’

Regional seas, such as Baltic Sea, Black Sea or North Sea do not belong to the EU Integrated Maritime Policy cross-cutting policies but instead, have separate sea basin strategies

European Union has taken action for oceans and adopted the EU Integrated Maritime Policy

The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) organises the way humans use the oceans

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) – is the agency responsible for implementing the EU maritime policy
