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 helping UK fishing authorities manage fishing levels effectively.
All U10m flag vessels are required to record their catch. This information plays a crucial role in maintaining sustainable fishing practices, ensuring that our marine resources remain abundant for future generations.
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:
- the NEP1 form
- the MSAR1 form, however, 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)
For more detailed information on how to record your catch, please visit https://gov.uk/guidance/record-your-catch.
