Artisanal fisheries defines a set of small‑ and medium‑scale boats that generally fish close to the shore using traditional or non‑industrial methods and supply local markets for human consumption in coastal communities. This layer is calculated by the simulations in the MSP Challenge. (https://www.iss-foundation.org/)
"Artisanal catch" is calculated for each edition of the MSP Challenge and changes dynamically according to the plans made by users.
