A data logging tool for UK offshore anglers — every species, every encounter, every trip. Built to generate the science that protects access to our fisheries.
See what we're building ↓Every permit holder has to submit a trip report within 24 hours. But the current system is a web form you fill in from memory after getting back to port — sometimes hours later. The MMO's data is only as good as what people remember and bother to type.
Log a BFT encounter in five stages — everything captured live, at the moment it happens. No memory required.
The MMO says it needs better data before it can expand to the full 230 permits. Our survey found one respondent alone had 200 accidental BFT hookups over 10 years — zero of which appear in any dataset. That data gap is exactly what keeps the permit ceiling low.
Log your encounters anonymously. The aggregate data shows where BFT are, what gear interacts with them, and what the real mortality picture looks like — built from the community, for the community.
Honest answers only — this is more useful to us than polite ones. Takes two minutes.
Your feedback goes directly to the people building this. We'll share what we learn with the community — and if enough skippers say yes, we'll build it before the season opens.
Tight lines.
