Global Marine Ecosystem Models - Documentation of Inputs and Assumptions

Documentation of Global Marine Ecosystem Models Participating in FishMIP 2.0.

The Fisheries and Marine Ecosystem Model Intercomparison Project (FishMIP) aims to improve our understanding of the long-term impacts of climate change on fisheries and marine ecosystems, so we can improve future projections, which in turn can help inform policy.

In this repository, we catalog descriptions and assumptions of contributing models participating in FishMIP 2.0, based on information collected in this model template. The data presented here have a particular focus on assumptions under our Track A (ISIMIP 3a) model evaluation simulation experiments. Models catalogued here will also need to submit shapefiles of regional model domains. This is to help provide a workflow for regional modellers to carry out their simulations including tools such as using our Shiny Apps.

If you are interested in contributing simulations with your global model to FishMIP, please contact our [email protected]. More details will also be in our website: fishmip.org
