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

Artificial substrate is a month-by-month 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.
