A story of enthusiasts
Fishipedia is the idea of 2 developers, Benoit Chartrer and Yuhei Nakata, both passionate about marine life. Their idea was to create an encyclopedic social network dedicated to fish and aquatic ecosystems.
Based on content validated by specialists and simplified ergonomics, Fishipedia has been designed to help you deepen your knowledge related to aquaristic, diving and sustainable fishing practices.
Why a Fishipedia?
In these times of profound change, we believe that it is fundamental to communicate more and more about environmental issues impacting biodiversity in the natural environment.
Behind this brilliant idea are also hidden brilliant aspirations ...
- sensitize : providing free information on marine biodiversity;
- Login : the public among themselves to share their passion for aquatic flora and fauna;
- Innovate : by developing new participatory science tools;
- Protect : species and ecosystems by regularly publishing surveys and participating in projects that make things happen.
All this in order to preserve our magnificent marine flora and fauna.

- Bring back your waste to throw them in a trash can and if possible, collect at least the plastics and other non-renewable waste crossed on your way;
