The Lenfest Ocean Futures Project focuses on questions of current fisheries management and how these decisions affect ecosystems and in turn feed back into the economy.  The final product will be a single and multi-player gaming environment based on the scientific software Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) that can be used by scientists and policy makers alike to understand the impact of different fisheries management regimes.

Recently the developers have released a teaser of what the gaming environment will look like.  While you may see a video of the project embeded below it’s highly recommended to visit the YouTube page and watch it in high quality if your computer can support Flash 9.
