Adopt Salmon Farm shows Norwegian salmon-farm locations together with nearby vessel traffic (AIS) on one map, so you can watch what's happening around fish farms. It uses public open data from BarentsWatch / the Norwegian Coastal Administration. It is an informational tool, not a navigation or safety system.
Tap a farm and turn on an alarm, then pick the alert distance and trigger (on arrival, activity, or on leaving). When a vessel comes within that distance of a watched farm, you get a push notification. Alerts require notification permission and are best-effort — they can be delayed or missed, so don't rely on them for anything safety-critical.
Check that: notifications are allowed for Adopt Salmon Farm in iOS Settings → Notifications → Adopt Salmon Farm; at least one farm has its alarm turned on; and the vessel actually came within your alert distance. AIS coverage varies and positions can lag.
No. Adopt Salmon Farm has no account or login. See the Privacy Policy for what little data is involved.
The live map is always free. The Farms, Watch and Analytics tabs are unlocked by watching one short rewarded video. There are no banners and no pop-up ads anywhere in the app, and no ad ever plays unless you tap to start it.
An unlock lasts as long as you keep using the app and lapses after seven days of not opening it. Watching one more ad restores it. If you open the app even occasionally, you will not be asked again.
Subscribe to Adopt Salmon Farm Live — subscribers never see an ad and never see the unlock screen.
An optional auto-renewing subscription (US$2.99/month) that adds continuous live updates, alarms on unlimited farms, an alert distance up to 2 km, per-farm visitor history, weekly and monthly traffic trends, and fine-grained alert exclusions — and removes ads entirely. Exploring the app is always free.
Subscriptions are billed by Apple. Manage or cancel anytime on your iPhone in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions, or in the App Store app. Cancelling stops the next renewal; the current period stays active until it ends.
Open Adopt Salmon Farm → Settings → Adopt Salmon Farm Live → "Restore purchases" while signed in with the same Apple Account you bought it on.
