Draw spatial plans

Utilize data from GIS sources such as EMODnet or Copernicus to draw spatial plans to edit, remove, or add data on layers from varying human activities.

Create Plans Draw Geometry

Use the Plan Wizard to create new spatial plans where multiple layers can be added, and the date of implementation can be changed to stack multiple plans for cumulative effects.

Within the selected layers, the user is able to edit, remove, or add data, separating layers into types of varying purpose.

Collaborate with other players

Up to 20 users Play as Multiple Countries

Connect to a single sea basin wit up to 20 individual computers to collaborate in the spatial development of your sea basin.

Players can select their country of choice, allowing multiple players to take control and develop plans for a single country or region.

Implement (Collaborative) spatial plans

See, comment, and approve plans Impact whole sea basins
Players from multiple regions can simultaneously see each other's plans, comment on these plans, and when regional boundaries are crossed decide to approve or decline the implementation of these plans.

Plans impact cross-boundary shipping and ecology, capable of disrupting an entire sea basin.

Simulate effects of spatial plans

Simulation platforms Impacted by the users
Shipping Clear.png

Thee simulation platforms, calculating Ship Traffic, Energy Production Capacity, and Ecosystem Dynamics are connected to the sea basins, measuring cumulative impacts throughout the area. Models calculate the latest state every month of in game time, creating a continuous simulation of the current state of the sea basin.

Plans developed and implemented by the users generate layertype dependent levels of impact on the simulation models. Every change matters and alters the state of the sea basin, be it on the ecology, ship intensity, or energy production.

  • Integrate and review dozens of data layers from relevant external GIS sources such as EMODnet or Copernicus.
  • Draw up spatial plans for human activities and marine protection in a particular marine region, notably the North Sea, Baltic Sea or Clyde marine region.
  • Collaborate with other players/users to define and refine your spatial plans before implementing them.
  • Have a new (collaborative) spatial plan implemented besides or instead of existing plans and activities in the marine region.
  • Simulate the effects of spatial plans for the marine region's energy production capacity, ship traffic, and ecosystem dynamics.
  • Review and evaluate key objectives or targets for the marine region with your spatial plans.
