Refinement of an Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) model of the Clyde Sea for use within the Clyde Marine Region digital Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) Challenge Game
This report details the intensive modelling work undertaken to refine an existing ‘Ecopath with Ecosim’ (EwE) model (created for the Clyde at SAMS) for use within the development of the Clyde Marine Region version of the digital MSP Challenge game. This report follows the EwE methodology for best ecological practice (Heymans et al., 2016, Link, 2010) whilst also using (and developing) the EwE model guidelines for MSP gameplay (Steenbeek et al., figshare).
