SAMUDRA

“SAMUDRA” (Smart Access to Marine Users for Data Resources, and ocean Advisories) is envisaged to give an easy access for users to the ocean information and advisory services provided by The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) (under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government Of India).
The app empowers users with real-time updates and critical alerts on oceanic disasters such as tsunamis, high waves, swell surge alerts, and ocean current alerts etc. ensuring that individuals and communities stay informed to take necessary precautions.
The app also offers invaluable services to the fishing community, providing PFZ advisories that guide fishermen to the most probable fish aggregation locations thereby maximising catch rates, and improving livelihoods.
Furthermore, the mobile app provides a five-day advanced OSF, predicted tides along the coast etc. enabling mariners, fishermen, and coastal communities to plan their activities in advance, mitigating risks and optimising operations based on predicted ocean conditions. The app has interactive maps, charts, and animations that enhance comprehension of complex oceanic phenomena.
The app aims to deliver a seamless user experience across multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, and Progressive Web Applications (PWA). The application is currently served in English Language. The Indian coastal languages are proposed to be included in the near future.
