About

Oceanfarmr provides a digital farm operations platform for aquaculture that maps and logs oyster bag locations and status, enabling operational oversight, labor reduction, and efficiency improvements.

Mission

Oceanfarmr, formerly SmartOysters, was founded by marine‑biologist‑turned‑oyster‑farmer Ewan McAsh. It began as an app that logged the status and location of each oyster bag on McAsh’s farm. The product has evolved into a fully fledged digital farm operations system and network described as the “Google Maps of the ocean.” The platform gives aqua‑farmers greater oversight of operations, helping reduce labor and improve efficiency. Oceanfarmr says the system is slashing work hours and boosting the bottom line for operators. The company completed a $1.45 million funding round led by Katapult, which placed it in the top 1% of candidates in the accelerator program.
