The app provides a guide to the beaches and marine waters of Cyprus. It gives for each beach local information (description and features) as well as marine forecasts (waves, currents, winds) and weather forecasts. This is provided in tables and dynamic maps. The information aims at users in the tourism and recreational sectors, in particular public visiting beaches, swimming, surfing, sailing, fishing and diving, and professionals such as hotels, schools for diving, surfing, sailing, fishery trips organizers, boat rentals, and others.
The SeaMobile project is co-funded by the Repubic of Cyprus and the European Regional Development Fund. The SeaMobile information service is developed for giving tourist and recreational users access to customised marine data and forecasting services, adopting smart phones and mobile touch screen devices as distribution platforms. Later this might be expanded with dedicated services for businesses and public authorities.
The project is funded by the Research Promotion Foundation of Cyprus and the European Structural Funds
The SeaMobile project is coordinated by the Oceanography Centre of the University of Cyprus (OC-UCY) with technical contributions by partners MARIS (Netherlands) and WabbieWorks (Cyprus). OC-UCY operates marine forecast services (waves, currents, meteo) which are the basis for the SeaMobile information service. MARIS has developed the Apps, while WabbieWorks has developed the Mobile Website. There is cooperation with the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) which has delivered text descriptions of beaches, contributed related beach images, and supports promotional activities for SeaMobile. Basic maps are derived from OpenStreetMap and EMODnet Bathymetry. Weather info is provided by OpenWeatherMap.com.
