Use this app to create and submit catch records for all English and Welsh under 10 metre (U10m) flag vessels that fish in UK waters. It's an essential tool for ensuring sustainable fishing practices and aiding UK fishing authorities in managing fishing levels effectively.
All U10m flag vessels are required to record their catch. This information is crucial for the sustainable management of fishing resources in UK waters.
You can utilize this service if you are a:
- Registered vessel owner
- Skipper
If you are a registered vessel owner, you will receive an invite email. The timing of this email depends on your vessel's size. You have one calendar month from the receipt of the email to register and begin using the service.
If you are a skipper, you should contact the owner of the vessel to obtain an invite.
If you are a member of a producer organisation and lease quota, you should not use the online record your catch service. Instead, continue to record your catch using a paper logbook.
This service replaces the following:
- The NEP1 form
- The MSAR1 form, although depending on your location, local IFCAs may require additional information
- The requirement to complete a log book when leasing fish quota and/or when fishing in 2 ICES areas (currently IV4/VIId and VIId/VIIe)
