Application Description

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 maintaining sustainable fishing practices, as the data collected helps UK fishing authorities manage fishing levels effectively.

All U10m flag vessels are required to record their catch. This information is crucial for ensuring the sustainability of our marine resources and supports the efforts of UK fishing authorities to manage fishing levels responsibly.

You can use this service if you are a:

• registered vessel owner
• skipper

If you are a registered vessel owner, you should receive an invite email. The timing of this email depends on your vessel size. You have one calendar month after receiving the email to register and start using the service. If you are a skipper, please contact the owner of the vessel to get 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 several traditional methods, including:

• 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)
