Heavy rain at the shellfish beds: harvest risk
Rain at each shellfish bed, the wettest first, with a harvest line.
What it does
Every afternoon: the rain forecast for the next two days at the oyster and mussel farms on your coast, the wettest first, with a line by xMap AI on which beds may need a pause in harvesting after the runoff.
In one sentence: Every day at 14:00, in Auckland and Wellington, find oyster suppliers and fish farms in the area, get the 2-day weather forecast, sort them by rain_total_mm and keep the top 10, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Heavy rain washes runoff into the bays, and shellfish are not harvested until the water is clean again. Two days’ notice saves a lost batch.
Who it is for
Fishing & aquaculture. Fishing cooperatives, fish farms, seafood traders and fisheries authorities watching the sea and the weather and selling the catch fresh. Every use case for fishing & aquaculture
Best use cases

The time it saves
Every day at 14:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 20 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 10 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
