We designed an app to teach Caribbean fish identification while snorkeling or diving underwater.
Fish identification is a skill that requires years of practice and a lot of time spent in the field. However, this app will help you bridge the gap between what you see in the books and what you actually experience underwater.
Artedi teaches you to recognize the most common Caribbean reef fish, while allowing you to record fish diversity and abundance through simple touchscreen commands.
Using a scientific crowdfunding platform, Isla Mar founders raised funds to support initial development.
Crowdfunded
Designed and implemented by creators and coders just beginning in their careers.
Early-Career Professionals
Effectiveness of the app was tested in a rigorous experiment involving novice fish surveyors.
Tried and Tested
Education is expensive enough.
This app is free to use.
Freely Available
Detailed illustrations
Focus on the most defining features of the fish. Access to over 150 stunning illustrations of the most common fish you will encounter.
Record meta data
Keep track of every aspect of your survey. Log your transect length, habitat type, depth, visibility, and more!
Camera access
Turn your tablet into an underwater camera for quick snapshots of unknown fish to be identified later.
Export as CSV
Save multiple surveys per dive and sync with My Artedi. Export to CSV and save hours of post survey processing.
Future of Artedi
Since its conceptualization in 2012, we've been seeking the perfect affordable tablet housing to take it underwater. While some tablet housings have come close, none have met our exact needs.
We're actively seeking prototype solutions and welcome your input. Engineers, designers, and tech moguls, help us make Artedi underwater-ready in an affordable and practical way.
Let's collaborate on this exciting challenge!
