Use this innovative 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 sustainable fishing practices, as it helps UK fishing authorities effectively manage and monitor fishing levels.
All U10m flag vessels are required to meticulously record their catch. By providing this information, you contribute to the sustainable management of our marine resources, ensuring the health and longevity of our seas for future generations.
This service is designed for:
- Registered vessel owners
- Skippers
If you are a registered vessel owner, keep an eye out for your invite email. The timing of this email is based on your vessel's size. You have one calendar month from the date of receiving the email to register and begin using the service. Skippers, please reach out to the vessel owner to obtain your invitation.
For members of a producer organisation who lease quota, please note that you should not use this online service. Instead, continue to record your catch using the traditional paper logbook method.
This convenient digital service replaces the following:
- The NEP1 form
- The MSAR1 form, although, depending on your location, local Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities (IFCAs) may require additional information
- The requirement to complete a logbook when leasing fish quota and/or when fishing in two ICES areas (currently IV4/VIId and VIId/VIIe)
