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. This tool is essential for all U10m flag vessels, as it helps UK fishing authorities manage fishing levels sustainably by accurately recording catch data.
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, contact the owner of the vessel to get an invite.
Please note that 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 forms and requirements, including:
- the NEP1 form
- the MSAR1 form, though 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)
