 * The UVA Bay Game is a large-scale participatory simulation based on the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The Game allows players to take the roles of stakeholders, such as farmers, developer, watermen, and local policy-makers, make decisions about their livelihoods or regulatory authority; and see the impacts of their decisions on their own personal finances, the regional economy, and watershed health. It is an adaptable educational and learning tool for raising awareness about watershed stewardship anywhere in the world; a tool for exploring and testing policy choices; and a tool for evaluating new products and services.
 * Not quite sure how this fits in, but an issue of Ecology and Society was devoted to the development of multi-agent models and their applications to game-based examination of resource utilization conflicts
 * Northern Highlands adaptive management game developed by UW's Center for Limnology. May be a really good starting point for incorporating limnological elements into the game. Focuses on social-ecological conflicts arising in the Northern Highlands Lake District, which is largely comprised of Vilas county plus some additional surrounding areas. The game appears to be no longer maintained but some of the supporting information found here and heremay be of some use. Gameplay is largely a result of the models developed in:
