Exploring Ocean Futures

This project aims to enhance Ecopath with Ecosim interface for ecosystem management, focusing on biodiversity and fishing analysis. Key features include scenario comparison and enhancing user interface for better exploration, run, and discussion. Development timeline includes gathering variables, class framework creation, completion stages by specific dates. Progress highlights interface development and required variables. Seeking feedback and suggestions for improvement.

Presentation Transcript

  1. By Sherman Lai Exploring Ocean Futures

  2. Outline • What is Ocean Futures? • Ecopath with Ecosim • Dataset • Goals • Solution • Progress • Time line • Comments?

  3. Ecopath with Ecosim • Scientific tool for ecosystem management • 18 years of development by scientist • Describes an ecosystem • Snapshot • Time dynamic • Spacial dynamics

  4. Dataset • Individual Scenario • Input variables • Fishing effort (4) • Marine protected areas (4) • Output variables • Value, Cost, Profit per fishery (4) • Biodiversity (4) • Scenario comparison • Value, Cost, Profit • Biodiversity

  5. Goals • Extend Current interface for laymen; • Clear use of modes; • Exploration; • Run; • Discussion.

  6. Exploration

  7. Run

  8. Discussion

  9. Solution • Smarter use of layering; • Small multiples; • Overview plus detail; • Smarter use of color; • Blank comparator; • Bank to 45 degrees.

  10. Progress • Currently developing the COM interface to combine .Net and VB6; • Strong idea of required variables; • Calling redraw delegate.

  11. Time line • Nov 11th - Gather variables required for simulation runs. Create more variables if required. • Nov 18th - Develop class framework for drawing maps, fishing effort graph, biomass plots, biodiversity plots. • Nov 20th - Completion of exploration mode. • Nov 25th - Completion of run mode. • Dec 2nd - Completion of discussion mode. • Dec 9th - Completion

  12. Comments??? ^_^ • Use of lens or Blink Comparator?
