What you will learn: how to read the public accuracy page so a “score” on the map feels less mysterious.

Screen name: Model accuracy
Address: /model-accuracy
How to open: map menu Model accuracy, login page footer, or a link under Habitat Checker results.

Anyone can open this page. It is a trust / transparency screen, not a fishing tool.


What you will see

  • Counts of live vs training samples (how much catch and depth evidence the models have)
  • A note that the model is improving in real time as more catches are logged
  • AUC at a glance — a plain-language explainer of the accuracy statistic (not a school exam)
  • Ranked species cards so you can see which fish the model knows better
  • EMODnet attribution for depths and seabed

Sign in to use the app takes you to the planner.

How to use this as an angler

  • A high score in a zone is a model match, not a live fish count
  • Species with more logged catches tend to be more trustworthy
  • Logging your own catches (even blanks you care about) helps the next trip — yours and everyone else’s
