A new mobile app from the Alabama Water Institute and the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium provides a fast, interactive way to find important weather, boating, safety and fishing information for the Gulf of Mexico.
A student-led project from the University of Alabama’s Management Information Systems program, the app allows users to instantly access information about weather, tides, buoy stations, water safety and fishing regulations based on the user’s location. The app is available by searching “MAPP-AWI” on iOS and Android.
The weather area provides current temperature, precipitation, humidity and wind speed, as well as hourly and seven-day forecasts. The regulations section has information provided by Fish Rules LLC, a third party that offers quick access to location-specific, up-to-date fishing regulations, such as season openings and catch limits on a variety of species. It also has information on obtaining saltwater and freshwater fishing licenses.
