The Sea Angling Diary Project is for UK sea anglers to help improve the sustainable management of marine stocks and demonstrate the value of sea angling. The project is delivered by Substance and the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) on behalf of all the UK governments and devolved administrations. It helps report the activity, catches and value of recreational sea angling to assist better informed decision making. Around 2,000 participants take part from every country and region in the UK.

What users say
Improved online diary tool makes inputting so much easier. I'm old skool but 2020 I'll be downloading the app. The Team are always an email away.
An excellent sea fishing recording system that is simple and easy to use. It will help a lot of anglers see how they have fished over the year/years.
As much as cash/prize incentives are a nice reward, I like to fill out the diary because it is so easy to do!
Perhaps now the government can get a true idea of the number of anglers and the fish we catch.
My main motivations are to raise the profile of sea angling and to stop us always being treated as unimportant compared to commercial fishing and that we care more for the marine environment than commercial fishing people do.
I’ve been using the app for a couple of months now (started fishing post lockdown) and the compact design of the tape measure slots into my tackle box perfectly.
Demonstrating that anglers return most of the bass they catch.
I am disabled and doing this encourages me to get out.
To get an accurate picture of species and numbers caught in the UK.
Wow! Thank you! That is a superb prize!
