ABOUT THE SIMULATION

Four student teams run competing fishing firms on the shared Saltmere fishing ground: Blackwake Trawlers, Hookjaw Marine, Net Ripper Fisheries and Rogue Tide Trawling. Each season, groups secretly choose how many boats to send out. More boats can increase profit, but overfishing damages the shared stock, making future catches weaker for everyone.
