Summary
Cefas (Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science)
government research legacy
CEFAS is the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, a UK marine and freshwater science agency and an executive agency of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
What it's used for
Networking for a government research institute. It announces a single 195.10.221.0/24 with one observed neighbour, the minimal footprint of an end-site that buys upstream from a single provider rather than operating as a carrier.
Notable
No PTRs were returned on the addresses sampled. The lone /24, single upstream and 2005 first-seen date all fit a small science agency's self-contained allocation.
Interesting
Cefas runs long-running fisheries, aquaculture and marine-environment monitoring programmes, so the value of the network is the science behind it rather than its size.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 443 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
