Description:

Artificial substrate (sometimes referred to as artificial habitat) is a human-made or synthetic environment in which an organism lives, or the surface or medium on which an organism grows or is attached.

MSP Challenge 2050:

Artificial substrate is a real-time, computer generated data layer, based on any of the following human activities:

  • Oil & Gas Installations
  • Pipelines
  • Tidal farms
  • Wave farms
  • Wind farms
  • Cables: Telecom, Electricity and Unused
  • Aquaculture

Artificial substrate is subsequently a pressure on the ecosystem. This means that this data layer is fed into the ecosystem simulation (EwE), and the ecosystem will respond accordingly.
