Go or stay: wind at sea for small boats
A go or stay note for small boats, the evening before.
What it does
Every evening: tomorrow’s hour-by-hour wind and rain at your landing site, with a go or stay note by xMap AI for small boat fishermen, sent to the cooperative’s WhatsApp group.
In one sentence: Every day at 18:00, in Dakar, get the 2-day weather forecast, sort them by wind_kmh and keep the top 4, write a report with xMap AI, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Small boats are lost every year in bad weather. A simple note each evening helps fishermen decide.
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
- A fishing cooperative
- A fisheries department
- An NGO working with fishing communities
What each run gives you
- A WhatsApp message
The time it saves
Every day at 18:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 15 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 8 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
