Question

select all the correct answers. which two scenarios best demonstrate the arm approach to natural resource management?
□ a local community is given control over a coastal fishery. it sets the catch limits and determines the number of fishing permits given out.
□ the horseshoe crab population was declining, so a penalty has now been imposed on collecting them for bait. the population is being monitored for recovery.
□ local community members meet to decide if an area can be developed. the community discusses the potential loss of biodiversity if the area is developed.
□ the black - capped vireo was on the endangered species list. an initiative involving local households was set up to protect the species and collect revenue.
□ the government studied deer populations and implemented a hunting - and - sterilization program. deer populations have not increased as anticipated, so new plans are being developed.

Explanation:

1. First Scenario (Fishing Permits):

• The ARM (Adaptive Resource Management) approach involves setting catch limits and controlling the number of fishing permits. This is a form of managing a natural resource (the fishery) by regulating access and extraction to ensure sustainability. It fits ARM as it's a management strategy to balance use and conservation.

1. Fourth Scenario (Deer Population Management):

• The government studied deer populations and implemented a hunting - and - sterilization program. When the initial plan didn't work (deer populations didn't increase as anticipated), new plans are being developed. This is adaptive as it involves monitoring the population, taking action, and then adjusting the management strategy based on the results, which is a key part of ARM.
• The second scenario (Horseshoe Crab) is more of a punitive measure without clear adaptation. The third scenario (Black - capped Vireo) is about protection and revenue collection without a clear adaptive management cycle. The fifth scenario (Community Development and Biodiversity) is about community decision - making on development and biodiversity loss, not a typical ARM for a natural resource.

Answer:

• A local community is given control over a coastal fishery. It sets the catch limits and determines the number of fishing permits given out.
• The government studied deer populations and implemented a hunting - and - sterilization program. Deer populations have not increased as anticipated, so new plans are being developed.
