The MSP Challenge Simulation Platform assists planners and stakeholders in understanding and managing the complexity of Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP). It allows users to view various data layers covering an entire sea region, assess the status of the socio-ecological system, and create future scenarios for marine space usage over several decades. The platform integrates the ecosystem modelling approach Ecopath with Ecosim (E...
