Why Salty

The coast as it actually is, right now.

Coastal knowledge is scattered across Facebook groups, obscure websites, and half a dozen agencies. Salty pulls it into one living map, built by the people who move through the coast every day. Marine weather, ferry and water taxi schedules, marina updates, safety alerts, fresh catches, and the local knowledge that never makes it onto a website, all in one place and updated in real time by the community on the water.

The more people share, the smarter Salty gets. Free to use, powered by people.
