Isle of Man anglers can now record information about their catches in Manx rivers and reservoirs thanks to a free mobile phone app.
Ecosourcer allows anglers to keep track of their fishing successes and view details of their catches, including photos, using smart phones or similar devices.
The app will share the information with the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture’s fisheries officers but will not be visible to other anglers.
For river anglers, it will provide an alternative to submitting a paper catch return to DEFA at the end of the season.
Richard Ronan MHK said the app will provide data to help the with the management and conservation of freshwater fisheries. It can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
