Some species PSI looked at were geoduck olympia oyster, blue heron, eel grass, kelp and other bird species.
Ecosim: PSI used a Ecosim model to forecast future events and scenarios. you can use ecosim to look at individual species and how they will respond to various conditions. This gives an idea about how one species decrease in population can affect other populations
Scenarios indicate changes in mediation conditions, fishing, and aquaculture.
