SAMSE

Introduction

The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (SAFMC) is working with Blue Matter Science Ltd. to conduct a Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE) to describe the expected outcomes of different management approaches for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery.

This SAMSE R package includes all the code to run the MSE analysis. SAMSE builds age-structured, spatial and multispecies, operating models (OMs) from the output of Beaufort Assessment Models (BAM). The OMs are projected under forwarded different management scenarios and performance statistics are used to compare the performance of different management approaches.

SAMSE uses the openMSE platform to build the OMs and conduct the closed-loop simulation testing.

Documentation on building the OMs, specifying the management methods, and running the closed-loop simualation testing is available under the Articles menu on the top navigation bar.

Installation

You can install the SAMSE from GitHub with:
