The System Simulation Model consists of a Stella Architect file, an Excel spreadsheet and a PDF of a user guide. For instance, it might be used to assess the impact of land use zoning policies on fish habitat and fish catch, or the impact of fishing management policies (such as a cap on boat numbers) on fish catch and fish price. The System Simulation Model is intended for technical users, such as governments and universities. The user can create an interface to run scenarios and produce graphs for any variable within the model. The System Simulation Model runs in Stella Architect. It allows the user to simulate the behaviour of the coastal system over time. The System Simulation Model quantifies interactions between activities on land (such as farming and urban development), activities on water (such as fishing), coastal ecosystems (such as coral reefs and mangroves) and coastal resources (such as fish). The System Simulation Model consists of a downloadable file that can be opened in Stella Architect software, and an Excel spreadsheet containing data for the model, and a user guide.
It is a technical simulation model of the coastal zone built using Stock and Flow modelling software (Stella Architect).
