Revision as of 07:23, 21 April 2023

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 orange country in that edition.

Country Orange has a relatively large marine presence in the North Sea (large in relation to country size) and has had a strong presence there with fishing, shipping and fossil energy forms (oil and gas) as traditional sectors. Commercial fishing and oil and gas are still important sectors but with strong competition with new sectors, such as green energy forms at sea (wind, wave and current) and closer to the coast, aquaculture.

The country's government has a sustainable growth perspective, which means that exploitation of marine resources, especially green energy forms, and protection of marine resources are both prioritized. Concerning the latter, there is currently talk about phasing out some oil- and gas rigs in favour of protection, especially around the Dogger Bank area.

The domestic case concerns planning for a scenario where some oil- and gas rigs are phased out over 10 years in favour of areas with renewable energy (both wind, wave and current) and MPAs. At the same time, there is competition with existing sectors (like fishing and shipping). A current concern is also fishers from countries not or no longer participating in the EU Common Fisheries Policy, who are difficult to negotiate with. Planning border activities is therefore not easy, and collaboration depends on sectors across borders. Your task is to propose a new plan for the country Orange North sea area, with special attention given to the needs of the following three sectors:

  1. Renewable energy (misc. renewable energy forms)
  2. Commercial fishing (keep areas for all fishing fleets)
  3. Environment (conservation and more MPAs)

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