A competition and a record
Fish-ID Nusantara (FIN) is an underwater photography competition built around species identification — it invites divers to recognize, document, and record the fish biodiversity of Indonesia's waters.
Dive & photograph
SCUBA divers and freedivers document fish in Indonesian waters.
Identify & upload
Each photo is uploaded together with the species ID, dive site, EXIF data, and dive-operator validation.
Jury verifies
Judges confirm or correct the fish's identification.
Score by rarity
Points are calculated from the IUCN Red List conservation status.
The rarer the fish, the higher the score
Points are awarded based on the species' conservation status, according to the IUCN Red List.
“Make every diver in Indonesia a citizen scientist who contributes something real to the conservation of Indonesia's seas.”
FIN connects recreation, photography, science, conservation, and tourism in one national platform.
