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:
    • Blue (Germany)
    • Orange (Denmark)
    • Lime (Sweden)
    • Green (Finland)
    • Aqua / Dark Blue (Russia)
    • Purple (Latvia)
    • Red (Estonia)
    • Pink (Lithuania)
    • Yellow (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 current 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
