The Oyster Recovery Partnership’s (ORP) Maryland Aquaculture Farm Management and Reporting (FARM) application streamlines inventory management, simplifies reporting, and provides a centralized hub with management tools, maps, and communication features to support Maryland’s aquaculture industry.
The Maryland FARM app is designed for aquaculture farmers in Maryland, including those with submerged land and water column leases, to simplify farm management and streamline regulatory reporting. Farmers are required to submit monthly and annual reports for each of their leases to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). Currently, farmers rely on various methods to track inventory, plantings, and sales, often compiling this information manually into detailed reports. This process can cause inefficiencies, delays in data processing, and challenges for MDNR in effectively monitoring and managing aquaculture activities. The FARM app addresses these challenges by providing a centralized, digital tool to support farmers in managing operations, simplifying reporting requirements with less reliance on paper, and accessing additional tools to enhance their work.
View and organize all your lease details in one place, with space for notes.
Log daily harvest activity and submit your monthly reports to MDNR.
Track planting and relay details for each lease and compile them into a PDF to submit with your annual paper report to MDNR.
Access water quality data and harvest closures in real-time through maps.
Upload and store photos, receipts, and important documents for easy access and organization.
Generate spreadsheets or print-ready PDFs of your reports for easy sharing and record-keeping.
