BlueEscape: Fish ID & Rules

Your pocket companion for recreational fishing in the Mediterranean.

Photograph the fish and see what it might be and whether there is any reason to be careful. In Greek waters, enter its length to check whether you can keep it under national limits. With a two-week free trial.

SPECIES RECOGNITION
Photograph the fish and AI suggests the species. Or say it out loud, or pick it from the list. A catalogue of over 160 Mediterranean species with photos, scientific names and local names where they exist.

DANGEROUS SPECIES
Warnings for venomous and toxic fish — pufferfish, lionfish, weeverfish, scorpionfish. Separate marking for the invasive species arriving from the Red Sea, which are becoming more common every year.

SAFETY
What to watch out for with venomous and dangerous species, and when to call for help, species by species. Emergency numbers, VHF channels, and an SOS button that prepares a message with your position for two contacts of your own.

MEASURE FROM A PHOTO
Rest a coin on the back of the fish, take a photo, and the app estimates the length. It runs on your phone, with no internet. If the fish is close to the minimum size, check with a tape measure.

WEATHER AND SEA
Wind in Beaufort with gusts and direction for the days ahead. Tide data for your area. A lunar calendar showing the better days to fish.

BEFORE YOU GO
A supplies checklist so nothing is forgotten. A bait library with over 40 entries and photos, and which baits suit which fish.

JOURNAL
Record what you caught, where and when. Your spots in a list and on a map. Statistics by species, by month and by year. Your data stays on your phone and location logging is under your control.

IN GREEK WATERS
Minimum sizes per species, quantity limits per angler and per gear, and marking of the species that may not be taken recreationally — based on Regulation (EU) 2019/1241 and Greek law. With the species and length you confirm, the app shows whether the fish can be kept or is prohibited. Local rules may be stricter — ask the local port authority. Outside Greek waters the app records normally, without judging legality.

HOW IT WORKS
The subscription covers AI identification only, by photo or by voice. Picking a species from the list and everything else is free: measuring from a photo, weather and tide, journal and spots, the species and bait libraries, and every safety screen.

New subscribers can try it free for two weeks. After that your subscription starts, monthly or yearly, and you can cancel any time. No advertising.

Looking for "Blue Escape"? This is it — written BlueEscape, one word.

IMPORTANT
AI recognition can be wrong. The legality check relies on the species and length you confirm and does not replace the legislation in force. In an emergency, call your local emergency number immediately (112 across the EU). In Greece, call 108 for incidents at sea, or the Poison Centre on +30 210 7793777. Never eat a fish unless you are certain of the species, and do not rely on the app's recognition alone.
