The UK is a leader in marine ecosystem modelling, and has developed many classes of ecosystem models. This is a very complex landscape, so simple summaries of 14 different UK shelf ecosystem and community models have been produced. These include a brief summary of the model, description of validated models, existing and potential new uses, modelling issues, key references and point of contact.
