Welcome to the Shark Trust’s Recording Hub

Record your Catch

Complete the form below to record your shark, skate and ray catches from the UK.

All marks supplied will remain 100% confidential. You can enter a general description of the catch location (i.e. ‘approx. 7 miles SW of Looe’) or use your GPS/smartphone to provide exact co-ordinates. Either way, we'll never release exact fishing marks.

All maps and reports produced as part of the project will display catch statistics using highly approximated co-ordinates or other large geographic area.

If you'd prefer to share your catch records with us directly please contact us using the details below.
