Observations and Notes

It is quite difficult to model my agent model using a vensim system model, so my system model is concentrated on the population of the marine life in the ocean. The system model graphs the population of the marine creatures in the contamnated water.

Analysis

What I have anaylzed from my model is that the oil spill factor makes healthy marine creatures sick and creates a sick population. When there are more sick marine creatures there is a better chance that the healthy marine creatures get sick also almost creating an increasing sick population.
