01The story

Why Tidepool exists

The problem

Salmon farms lose up to a fifth of their stock to oxygen drops and algae blooms that nobody sees coming.

What we do

Tidepool floats cheap sensors in every pen and warns the farmer by text hours before levels turn dangerous.

Why now

Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food sector, and insurers now ask farms for monitoring.
