This folder contains the full set of spatial prioritization results for the Black Sea, structured to help navigate 60 runs in total.

The results are grouped by base scenarios (Current, Current accounting for climate change, Future). Each base scenario folder then contains four run variants:

1. No MPAs & no species weights

2. MPAs locked in & species weights

3. Species weights only

4. MPAs locked in only

Inside each run variant folder, you will find:

a. Spatial prioritization outputs

b. A README document describing:

      -The scenario & run variant

      -Which climate scenario and data layers are included

      -What species weights mean and how they were calculated

      -What MPAs locked in means

Future climate scenarios follow standard IPCC Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs):

RCP2.6: strong mitigation, aiming to keep global warming below 2°C

RCP4.5: moderate stabilization

RCP8.5: high emissions, high warming

The aim is to explore how spatial priorities might change under different climate futures and policy choices (weights, MPAs).
