NSS – Nasienriglyne
BEGINSELS MET BETREKKING TOT NASIEN VAN MARIENE WETENSKAPPE
1. Indien meer inligting as die puntetoekenning gegee word
Hou op nasien nadat die Maximum punte verkry is en trek 'n kronkellyn en dui
'Max' punte in die regterkantse kantlyn aan.
2. Indien, byvoorbeeld, drie redes vereis en vyf word gegee
Sien net die eerste drie na, ongeag daarvan of almal of sommige korrek/nie korrek is
nie.
3. Indien die hele proses beskryf word terwyl slegs 'n deel vereis word
Lees die hele proses gegee en krediteer die relevante dele.
4. Indien vergelykings vereis, maar beskrywings gegee word
Aanvaar die beskrywing indien die verskille/ooreenkomste duidelik is.
5. As geannoteerde diagramme aangebied word in plaas van beskrywings wat
vereis word
Sien die beskrywing na.
6. Indien vloeidiagramme i.p.v. beskrywings aangebied word
Sien slegs die beskrywing na.
7. Indien die volgorde van 'n beskrywing vaag is en skakels nie sin maak nie
Waar volgorde en skakels korrek is, word punte gegee. As 'n logiese volgorde
voortgaan, word punte gegee.
8. Nie-erkende afkortings
Aanvaar die afkorting indien dit aan begin van antwoord omskryf is. Indien dit nie
omskryf is nie, moenie die nie-erkende afkorting krediteer nie, maar krediteer die
res van die antwoord indien dit korrek is.
9. Verkeerd genommer
Indien die antwoord in die regte volgorde van die vrae pas, maar die verkeerde
nommer word gegee, word punte gegee indien die antwoord in die korrekte
volgorde is.
10. Indien die taal wat gebruik word, die bedoelde betekenis verander
Moenie die antwoord aanvaar nie.
11. Spelfoute
Indien 'n woord herkenbaar is (indien dit hardop gelees word), aanvaar die
antwoord, met die voorbehoud dat dit nie iets anders in die termonologie van
Mariene Wetenskappe beteken nie of as dit buite konteks is.
12. In AFDELING A, aanvaar en kredieer slegs die korrekte letter.
13. Wees sensitief vir die betekenis van 'n antwoord, wat op 'n ander manier
aangebied kan word.
14. Opskrif
Alle illustrasies (bv. diagramme, grafieke en tabelle) moet 'n opskrif hê wat boaan
of onderaan geskryf staan.

15. Vermenging van amptelike tale (terme/konsepte)
'n Term of konsep in enige amptelike taal anders as die leerder se
assesseringstaal waarin sy/haar antwoorde aangebied word, moet gekrediteer
word, indien dit korrek is. 'n Nasiener wat in die inhoud van Mariene Wetenskappe
en die amptelike taal vaardig is, behoort geraadpleeg te word. Dit geld vir alle
amptelike tale.
16. Veranderinge aan die nasienriglyne
Geen veranderinge mag aan die nasienriglyne aangebring word nie. Die
provinsiale interne moderator behoort geraadpleeg te word, wat met die nasionale
interne moderator moet beraadslaag (en die Umalusi moderator).
17. Amptelike nasienriglyne
Slegs nasienriglyne wat die handtekeninge van die nasionale interne moderator en
Umalusi-moderatore bevat en deur die Nasionale Departement van Basiese
Onderwys via die provinsies versprei word, mag gebruik word.

park / marine sanctuary / no take marine reserve (give one example)
- It is a clearly defined geographical space,
- recognised, dedicated, and managed through legal / effective means
- to achieve the conservation of nature / cultural values.
- They restrict human exploitation / overuse / misuse.
- It protects the environment and the organisms living within it.
- Promoting ecological stability,
- rehabilitation and restoration.
Max (5)
Formulation of MPA (F)
Checklist should be more or less in order (at least 4 steps) *
Applying Pressey’s list to INFANTA and WITSAND *
- Identify stakeholders and inform them of the conservation initiative / idea (e.g.
Cape Nature / Resident Conservation Society researching the area).
- Set goals for the (conservation) system
- Inform stakeholders of the state of the plants, animals / species in the area.
- Discuss how the residents could (potentially) benefit from the expansion, with the
stakeholders
- Discuss the (potential) pros and cons of the expansion with users (fishers, tourists,
divers, game rangers, conservation officials, scientists etc.)
- Data on the features to be represented (and protected such as fish counts) are
compiled and evaluated.
- Conservation goals are translated into quantitative targets / goals, benefits and
objectives are communicated to all parties involved (via WhatsApp groups and
signage boards).
- Contribution of existing reserves to meeting targets is determined (like at
Stilbaai)
- Algorithms or irreplaceability analyses are used to show how this area will meet
conservation goals.
- Conservation action is implemented / Residents are made aware of final
outcomes of the planning process
- An adaptive management approach / such as closing easy access roads /
improved awareness / campaigning
- based on constant monitoring of the conservation system is followed / residents
can be involved in local management of monitoring of the conservation system
