}}Country yellow has the largest population of circa 80 million people, and it is one of the world’s leading economies. The country has a high legislative and formal governance structure: legislation on nature protection and biodiversity is strict. Yellow’s country government is also known for a thorough working method and is determined to have the best scientific approach in planning the sea. Country Yellow has good bilateral relationships with its neighbouring countries, although a demarcation line (sea border) with the orange country is not established.
}}Country yellow has a relatively small marine presence in the North Sea relative to country size, with a traditional focus on commercial fishing, shipping and oil and gas. In later years, however, the commercial fishing and oil and gas sectors have become less important in favour of green energy forms at sea, particularly wind and wave energy forms, and conservation, between which there are conflicts because of interest in same areas.


Country Yellow has a huge offshore [[(NS)Wind Farms|wind energy]] ambition, since the country has decided to close nuclear power plants; its current ambition on offshore wind energy is estimated at 30% to 40% of the Yellows country sea area. Wind energy is also seen as an important source for employment. There is no regulation for the location of wind farms, although local communities prefer wind farms further offshore. So far the tourist industry has not objected to the government plans. However, the shipping sector has expressed their concerns.
For the country's regional authorities, who are responsible for the country's North Sea area, sustainable exploitation of marine resources is important. New opportunities may also appear, as there currently is talk about phasing out oil- and gas rigs, which will results in new marine space to plan new activities.


Shipping is a very important sector for country Yellow. The Yellow country has 3 major ports for import and export. Port extension is deemed necessary in the future. [[(NS)Shipping Intensity|Shipping intensity]] is projected to grow 2,5% annually. The economic importance of the shipping industry is linked to the Yellow seaports, which are hubs for international flows of goods. The accessibility of ports is considered very important by the industry.
Country Yellow's domestic case concerns planning for a scenario where oil- and gas rigs gradually are phased out over 10 years in favour of renewable energy forms. At the same time, there is competition with conservation efforts and shipping, which are both prioritized as well and cannot be compromised. A challenge at the moment is growth strategies in neighbouring countries, especially country Blue. Your task is to propose a new plan for the country Yellow North Sea area, with special attention given to the needs of the following three sectors:


Fishing does not play a very big role in the Yellow country, but aquaculture is gaining interest. The government is actively searching for multi-use areas. Combinations of wind farm areas and [[(NS)Aquaculture|aquaculture]] look very promising. [[(NS)Oil & Gas Installations|Oil and gas extraction]] is also of minor importance. Only in the most eastern part of the Yellow EEZ a couple of mining platforms are situated with few [[(NS)Pipelines|pipelines]] that are connected to shore.

# Environment (conservation and more MPAs)
# Shipping (tankers and cargo)
 
When you do your plans, be mindful about international traffic at sea, both shipping lanes and passenger traffic (i.e. should not/cannot be changed). In addition, any national defensive needs must be left unchanged. Finally, remember to pay attention to environmental conditions and ecological qualities in the area, e.g. wind speed, currents, various species, pressures, biodiversity, etc. that may affect marine activities.


The coastline of country Yellow is considered ecologically very important. The harbour porpoise and the common and gray seal are situated in the Yellow sea in huge numbers. Many areas in country Yellows EEZ are designated as [[(NS)Natura 2000|Natura 2000]] areas. The majority of these areas are designated as bird and habitat areas. Other activities that take place in the Yellow part of the Sea of Colours are [[(NS)Military Areas|military activities]], [[(NS)Sand & Gravel Extraction|sand extraction]], dredging and [[(NS)Recreational Interest|recreational activities]], such as yachting, sailing and recreational angling.

In each edition of the MSP Challenge, countries are coded by colours. This is to help users to abstract themselves from the countries roles and assume a more playful mode. The idea is to make plans for a managerial area without thinking too much about the political consequences (although they might be important). Thus, the countries profiles are explained to the users for context and objectives specification only.

Click on the tab corresponding to the edition you are interested in and check the profile of the yellow country in that edition.

Country yellow has a relatively small marine presence in the North Sea relative to country size, with a traditional focus on commercial fishing, shipping and oil and gas. In later years, however, the commercial fishing and oil and gas sectors have become less important in favour of green energy forms at sea, particularly wind and wave energy forms, and conservation, between which there are conflicts because of interest in same areas.

For the country's regional authorities, who are responsible for the country's North Sea area, sustainable exploitation of marine resources is important. New opportunities may also appear, as there currently is talk about phasing out oil- and gas rigs, which will results in new marine space to plan new activities.

Country Yellow's domestic case concerns planning for a scenario where oil- and gas rigs gradually are phased out over 10 years in favour of renewable energy forms. At the same time, there is competition with conservation efforts and shipping, which are both prioritized as well and cannot be compromised. A challenge at the moment is growth strategies in neighbouring countries, especially country Blue. Your task is to propose a new plan for the country Yellow North Sea area, with special attention given to the needs of the following three sectors:

  1. Renewable energy (misc. renewable energy forms)
  2. Environment (conservation and more MPAs)
  3. Shipping (tankers and cargo)

When you do your plans, be mindful about international traffic at sea, both shipping lanes and passenger traffic (i.e. should not/cannot be changed). In addition, any national defensive needs must be left unchanged. Finally, remember to pay attention to environmental conditions and ecological qualities in the area, e.g. wind speed, currents, various species, pressures, biodiversity, etc. that may affect marine activities.
