Project Brackish, Site Tour

Project Brackish is a farm + production operations platform for shellfish, seaweed, mushroom, and produce growers, and the small food businesses they supply. We're built for Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA), polyculture, aquaponics, and any co-op running land and sea operations side by side. Below is a walkthrough of every major module with realistic mockups, so you know exactly what you'd be getting before you ask for an invite.

Dashboard

One screen that tells you how the season is really going.

What came in, what went out, what's left over, and how much you harvested. Flip between this week, this month, this quarter, or the whole season. If you set a goal, you'll see how close you are to it.

  • Money in, money out, and what's left, no spreadsheet needed
  • Your best customers and best-earning products, found for you
  • Harvests coming up in the next month

Growing & harvesting

Every crop keeps its own schedule, and tells you when it's late.

Mushrooms, oysters, kelp, greens, each one gets the steps it actually goes through. Start a batch and the app lays out the dates ahead of you, then flags anything that's slipped behind.

  • Steps that fit what you grow, no generic checklist
  • Planned date next to the real date, so nothing gets lost
  • Late steps get flagged before they cost you a crop
  • Harvest flows straight into what you have on hand

Orders

Follow an order from 'they asked' to 'they paid'.

An order moves along in plain steps: written up, confirmed, picked, packed, shipped, delivered, invoiced. If you're short on something, the app says so and can turn it into a batch to make or an order to your supplier right there.

  • Simple steps anyone on the crew can follow
  • Short on stock? It tells you and offers the fix
  • Every order remembers which lot it went out with

What you have on hand

Know what's in the cooler, the shed, and the shelf.

How much is left, when to reorder, who you buy it from, and what you last paid. Each batch keeps its own record, so if anyone ever asks where a case came from, you can show them.

  • Warns you before you run out
  • Trace any finished case back to the day it came in
  • Receiving a supplier order updates stock and cost for you

Goals

Say what you're aiming for. See if you'll get there.

Set a goal for sales, harvest pounds, or spending, by week, month, quarter or season. The dashboard then shows whether you're on pace, while there's still time to do something about it.

  • Goals in your own numbers, for the stretch of time you care about
  • On pace or behind, told plainly
  • Spending goals count down instead of up

Once you're signed in, the menu only shows the groups that match what you actually grow, make, or haul. Nothing here is buried three taps deep.

Grow & harvest

Everything between putting it in and pulling it out.

Mushroom room
A dedicated module for mushroom cultivation: log batches (species, substrate, block count, tent, inoculation + first-flush dates), record flush-by-flush harvests with yield and loss, run a fruiting-room crop planner that projects weekly blocks in/out, harvest lb, labor hours, revenue, break-even week, and season net, and save named scenarios to compare varieties, cycles, and price points side-by-side.
Cannabis cultivation
State license # + type, local authorization, METRC/BioTrack UID, canopy + plant counts per site, wet / dry / waste / destruction weights with witness, regulatory batch tags on every harvest, and a monthly cultivation summary CSV. Permit catalog covers state cultivation, local, water board, CDFW LSAA, pesticide, hazmat, and weighing-device permits.
Wild harvest log
A dedicated tab in Farming for wild-caught harvests, species, method (hand-cut, mechanical, dive, rake, intertidal, vessel), GPS pin, vessel name, and zone. Feeds straight into Inventory and into permit/compliance evidence for ISSC, CDFW, and state fish-and-game reporting.
Harvest locations
Every harvest gets a saved pin, species, block #, vessel, lat/lng. One-tap Directions opens Google Maps, Apple Maps, or copies coordinates.
Farm sites
Multiple sites per farm, in-water, on-land, or mixed, each tagged by purpose: farming, harvesting, processing, nursery, storage, office. One farm, many distinct places.
Built for IMTA & polyculture
Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture is a first-class citizen, model finfish, shellfish, and seaweed at different trophic levels on the same lease, with nutrient flow noted alongside stockings and harvests. Land-based polyculture and aquaponics use the same schema.
Land + sea, one company
Run ocean leases, hydroponic greenhouses, mushroom fruiting rooms, row-crop fields, cannabis greenhouses, vineyards, and fermentation rooms under a single workspace. Mix freely, one workspace, every vertical.
AOA zones (NOAA)
Aquaculture Opportunity Areas overlaid on the site map, Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of Alaska. Pick a permitted zone and your coordinates auto-fill, with a badge linking to the NOAA source atlas.

Make

Recipes, vessels, and the slow bubbling middle of the business.

Fermentation room
Its own page for vessels and batch logs, tanks, barrels, carboys, crocks, across wine, miso, kraut, hot sauce, koji, vinegar, and lacto sea veg. Log pH, temperature, Brix, and salinity per vessel; brine math is salt-water-aware (subtracts native ocean salinity from added salt). Permit catalog adds cottage food, processed food, cannery, scheduled-process letter, and wholesale facility registration. HACCP-style batch log CSV export.
Sea-veg fermentation
Lacto-fermented kelp, sea-veg hot sauce, brined dulse. The same brine math, plus a marine-input flag that carries GPS / zone / block from harvest through every downstream lot for recall traceability.
Winemaking
TTB Basic Permit + bonded winery #, state ABC license, AVA(s), production tier. Tanks, barrels, and carboys tracked as fermentation vessels with stage and capacity; lot lineage carries parent-lot + transformation forward from crush through bottling. Draft TTB 5120.17 Wine Operations Report export.
Formulations & ingredient library
Elevated recipe + ingredient system for value-add products. Track pack sizes, pack costs, on-hand stock, vendor + reorder URL, and low-stock alerts for every ingredient, from turkey tail to sea salt to wine finings, with weighted-average cost that flows straight into product recipes and batch COGS. One library across broths, tinctures, extracts, ferments, and seasoning blends.
Products
Recipes, yield calculator, COGS, multi-tier pricing. Yield view shows the bottleneck ingredient.

Sell & stock

Out the door, and back on the shelf.

Purchase orders
Drafts, sent, received. Receiving adds a lot and writes an expense automatically.
Vendors
One place for suppliers, contacts, lead times, every PO you've sent them.
Brackish import
Pull products, recipes, vendors, POs, and sales orders live into a sister workspace like BrackishBooks.

Money

The part nobody loves, made about as painless as it gets.

Expenses
Labor, rent, utilities, fuel, supplies, repairs, fees, marketing. Quick-add + CSV import.
Exports + regulatory drafts
CSV exports of orders, inventory, expenses, harvest history, plus regulatory drafts: cannabis monthly cultivation summary, TTB 5120.17 wine operations, and HACCP-style ferment batch logs.

Compliance

Rules, renewals, and the paperwork tide.

Where you can harvest, WA, CA & OR
Drop a pin anywhere on the West Coast and the app reads back the rules for that beach on that date, each line linked to its source. Washington: WDFW marine areas and state-park zones, the April 16, May 15 park window (WAC 352-32-350), the 10 lb wet-weight daily limit (RCW 79.135.410), per-species cutting rules, Discover Pass, and DOH biotoxin closures. California: the 10 lb aggregate daily limit (14 CCR §30), prohibited species, sea palm, eelgrass, surfgrass (14 CCR §30.10), MPA and special-closure warnings, giant kelp's four-foot cutting depth, and commercial kelp-bed licensing. Oregon: personal ocean-shore harvest under OAR 736-020-0035, the 2,000 lb per-year Department of State Lands lease threshold (ORS 274.895), OPRD commercial removal permits, and hard no-take blocks inside all five marine reserves. Live NOAA low-tide windows now cover stations from San Diego to Point Roberts.
Pick your state
Settings → Where you harvest lets your team choose Washington, California, Oregon, or several at once with one primary state. Most teams pick one. The wild harvest form then follows your pin: it loads that state's license classes, land statuses, harvest zones, and tide stations, runs a live compliance strip, and meters the daily limit per harvester. If something's out of bounds the record is blocked until you review and acknowledge it, and the acknowledgment, with your reason, rides along on the record. Every harvest stores the state it was logged under, and the state harvest log export switches agencies with it: WDFW/DNR for Washington, CDFW for California, DSL/OPRD for Oregon, with the Oregon annual poundage running against the 2,000 lb lease threshold.
Permits, licenses & agency reports
Track every required ag/aquaculture permit with renewal dates, single or ranged costs, apply URLs, and per-permit notes. Categories: aquaculture, wild harvest, environmental, food safety, land farming, organic, labor, business/tax. Downloadable agency report generators built in.
Smart permit recommendations
Auto-detects operation tags from your real data (in-water lease, shellfish, finfish, seaweed, hatchery, processing, interstate, export, organic, water discharge, cannabis, wine, fermentation) and matches them against a curated catalog covering ACOE/NOAA, FDA FSMA Preventive Controls & Produce Safety, USDA-FSIS, ISSC shellfish shipping, TTB, METRC, and CDPH / county health.
Compliance profile
An editable profile captures the signals we can't infer, processing status, interstate/export sales, workforce size, water discharge or withdrawal, organic certification, cannabis license type, TTB permits. Update once and every recommendation, sub-report, and renewal reflects it.
Renewals & deadlines
Every permit you add gets renewal tracking with deadline alerts, so nothing lapses mid-season. Sub-reports group obligations by jurisdiction for quick prep before inspections.

Your crew

Who's doing what, and where they're standing when they do it.

Team
Up to 25 teammates per company. Six roles from Owner to Viewer.
Invite your coworkers
New solo accounts get a friendly email ~24h after signup with a one-tap link to bring teammates into the same workspace, so the whole crew shares one set of sites, harvests, and orders instead of duplicating data.
Tasks
Assign field work. Auto-created from order shortages and low-stock alerts.
Location-aware tasks
Assign any task to a farm site, a specific growing unit / tank, a saved harvest pin, or a custom lat/lng. The assignee gets one-tap directions wherever they're going.
My tasks (mobile)
A dedicated /my-tasks view shows everything assigned to you with location details and Google / Apple Maps / Copy coords buttons. Built for the truck and the dock.

Making it yours

Small comforts for long shifts.

Workstation colors & build styles
Eight color schemes you can switch on the fly in Settings → Workstation appearance — Tidewater Moss (the original dark), Harvest Warm, Tidal Sand, Deep Ocean, Cellar Vine, plus the softer Sediment Stone, Furrow Loam, and Yield Field. Underneath that sits the build-style sampler: eight name-and-color pairings showing what your own version of this platform could be called and look like. Try one on, send it over, or write in your own. No voting, no committee — just your build, your call.
Demo mode toggle
A switch in the authenticated header flips your view to the shared Tide & Soil Demo Co. workspace, explore every screen with realistic data (now including a cannabis greenhouse, vineyard blocks, and live fermentation vessels), then flip back. Writes are disabled in demo.
Logo = home, always
Tap the Project Brackish logo anywhere, public site, tour, or signed-in sidebar, to jump back to the public landing page. One consistent way out, even from inside the dashboard.

Built with accessibility in mind

Project Brackish is designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. Charts use a color-vision-deficiency-safe palette so series stay distinguishable for users with deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia. We pair color with text labels and shape cues wherever data is conveyed, keep tap targets sized for motor accessibility, respect prefers-reduced-motion, and label every interactive control for screen readers. If you hit something that doesn't work for you, use the Feedback button, accessibility reports go to the top of the queue.
