Atlantis is software for modeling marine ecosystems, including spatial and temporal dynamics. This ecosystem model considers all parts of marine ecosystems – biophysical, economic, and social. Originally focused on the biophysical world and then on fisheries, it has grown to be used for cumulative impacts and climate-related questions. Developed by Dr. Beth Fulton at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization
