Summary Description

AUTHORS DESCRIPTION: "MIMES uses a systems approach to model ecosystem dynamics across a spatially explicit environment. The modeling platform used by this work is a commercially available, object-based modeling and simulation software. This model, referred to as Massachusetts Ocean MIMES, was applied to a selected area of Massachusetts’ coastal waters and nearshore waters. The model explores the implications of management decisions on select marine resources and economic production related to a suite of marine based economic sectors. |
