Revision as of 12:49, 12 March 2020

As explained on the Configurations page, any MSP Challenge edition is configurable to fit your own requirements. The best way to do this is by editing the basic configuration file of a particular edition.

The Baltic Sea edition has a basic configuration with the following main parameters:

Era Timeline

Era Start End
Era 1 2018 2026
Era 2 2026 2034
Era 3 2034 2042
Era 4 2042 2050


Country Overview

  • Nine countries with each two or three objectives:
    • Yellow (Germany)
    • Blue (Denmark)
    • Purple (Sweden)
    • Green (Finland)
    • Red (Russia)
    • Pink (Latvia)
    • Estonia
    • Lithuania
    • Poland

Other settings

  • Dataset as stipulated on the Data sources page. See the Baltic Sea edition table.
  • Three background simulations:
    • Ecopath-with-Ecosim ecosystem simulation, and predefined ecosystem pressures (noise, artificial substrate, surface disturbance, bottom disturbance, fishing efforts and protection from fishing activities) generated from different human activities.
    • Shipping simulation, monthly ship traffic entering, leaving or within the Baltic Sea region.
    • Energy simulation, existing offshore renewable energy areas, electricity cables and landing stations (landfall points) in the different countries. These simulate the curent energy flow of the existing infrastructure.
  • Restrictions and errors:
    • Errors when planning different physically-obstructing human activities on the same area, e.g. a wind farm on a shipping lane, or vice versa.
    • Warnings when planning human activities with defined ecosystem pressures in an MPA or Natura2000 site, or vice versa.

Data Sources
