Utilize this app to effortlessly create and submit catch records for all English and Welsh under 10 metre (U10m) flag vessels that operate within UK waters. This tool is essential for maintaining accurate and up-to-date records, which are crucial for sustainable fishing management by UK fishing authorities.
All U10m flag vessels are required to diligently record their catch. The data collected is instrumental in helping UK fishing authorities manage fishing levels sustainably, ensuring the health of our marine ecosystems for future generations.
This service is available for use by:
- Registered vessel owners
- Skippers
If you are a registered vessel owner, you will receive an invitation email. The timing of this email depends on the size of your vessel. You have one calendar month from the receipt of the email to register and begin using the service.
Skippers should contact the owner of the vessel to request an invitation.
Please note, if you are a member of a producer organisation and lease quota, you should not use this online catch record service. Instead, continue to record your catch using a paper logbook.
This digital service replaces the following:
- 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)
