Fish4Life is a guide to sustainable fish consumption in Greece and across the Mediterranean. It provides the public with clear, accessible guidance on which seafood is sustainable to eat and when it should be consumed or avoided. The platform offers clear information on each species’ status (e.g., whether it is legal, illegal, or sustainable to consume) and highlights breeding and spawning seasons, when consumption should be avoided, while also providing information on the legal minimum size and the minimum sustainable size for each species.

Unfortunately, more than 70 species are inadequately protected under Greek law – they either do not have a legal minimum size or the existing legal minimum size is significantly smaller than the minimum sustainable size. Moreover, illegal and undersized species are still frequently found in Greek markets and restaurants. Fish4Life helps you identify and avoid them, and encourages you to report them when encountered. Through the monthly calendar, you can easily identify which species are more sustainable to consume each month.

Fish4Life was developed by Archipelagos’ researchers, combining almost 30 years of field experience and research in the Greek seas with scientific knowledge and the invaluable advice of artisanal fishers who fish sustainably and share our concern for the conservation of marine biodiversity and the future of our seas.
