Marine information is available from many different sources, including weather forecasts, ocean conditions, Potential Fishing Zones (PFZ), satellite observations, and marine warnings.
However, users often need to search through different platforms and understand different types of information separately. This makes it difficult to quickly answer important questions such as:
- Where is the nearest Potential Fishing Zone today?
- Is it safe to go to sea tomorrow morning?
- What are the weather, wind, and wave conditions near my location?
- Which areas have favourable marine conditions?
- Which areas should be avoided?
- What is a safer route to a selected fishing location?
The challenge is not simply the lack of marine data.
The challenge is understanding, combining, and reasoning over the available information.
ORCA is a conversational Marine Intelligence Assistant that helps users understand complex marine information through natural language.
Instead of searching through multiple sources, users can simply ask ORCA questions about marine conditions, fishing zones, safety, and routes.
For example:
"Can I safely go to the nearest fishing zone tomorrow morning?"
ORCA can:
- Identify what information is required.
- Find the relevant fishing zone.
- Check weather and sea conditions.
- Check wind and wave conditions.
- Check available marine warnings.
- Analyze the overall risk.
- Recommend whether the location is suitable.
- Generate a safer route when required.
- Explain the recommendation clearly.
