Record Your Catch

This app simplifies catch recording for English and Welsh vessels under 10 meters (U10m) fishing in UK waters. All U10m vessels must record their catch; this data helps UK authorities maintain sustainable fishing practices.

The service is for registered vessel owners and skippers. Owners should receive an invitation email (timing depends on vessel size) with a one-month registration window. Skippers should contact their vessel owner for an invitation. Producer organisation members leasing quota should continue using paper logbooks.

This app replaces the NEP1 and MSAR1 forms, and the logbook requirement for leased quota or fishing in multiple ICES areas (IV4/VIId and VIId/VIIe). However, local IFCAs may still need extra information depending on your location.
