Abstract

We present agent-based modelling and social simulation in particular application to ecosystem management. The steps in designing and building an agent-based model are discussed, as are the methodological problems typically encountered. Examples of relevant agent-based models are given. The task of integrated ecosystem management is considered and examples are given of agent-based modelling in this context. As a further illustration, consideration is given to a possible agent-based model of the Fraser River watershed in British Columbia, and to particular difficulties that it presents.
