Weekly fisheries brief
Weather, boats at sea and new buyers in one weekly brief.
What it does
Every Monday: the week’s wind and rain on your coast, the fishing boats at sea and new seafood buyers, joined by xMap AI into a one-page brief for the cooperative.
In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, in Accra, get the 7-day weather forecast, watch the ships, find seafood restaurants and seafood wholesalers in the area, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
A cooperative needs one page each Monday. Three signals joined make it.
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 officer
- A seafood trader
What each run gives you
- An email
The time it saves
Mondays at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 45 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 3 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
