In this lecture, we discuss topics from Chapter 1 of Morecroft (2010) surrounding strategic modeling for analysis of various different scenarios that can emerge from a single system dynamics model. After some philosophical discussion of the continuous modeling spectrum from metaphorical to analog, we transition to more concrete examples with a simple harvested fisheries model. This gives us the opportunity to use the SDM to show how important functional response is and to use the example to motivate approaches for regulating a sustainable fishery.
