Join in World Fish Migration Day this May

World Fish Migration Day (WFMD) is a one day global initiative, with local events worldwide, to create awareness on the importance of open rivers and migratory fish. It is hosted by the World Fish Migration Platform and will take place on 21 May 2016. WFMD is celebrated by over 1000 organizations around the globe. Currently there are 32 countries participating and hosting a range of events.

Organizers are seeking the participation of other organizations whose goals and values align with the World Fish Migration Platform. Participating organizations will organize their own event and outreach communication under the umbrella of the World Fish Migration Day (WFMD). The WFMD partnership will take care of the central coordination, international publicity, and maintain this website. We will send regular updates on the progress and international communication to participants as well as the WFMD logo to be used for communication purposes.

If your organization is interested in participating or finding out more, visit http://www.worldfishmigrationday.com/join-wfmd. Organizations must agree to the terms of WFMD events and can fill out a form officially registering with WFMD. Events can take a wide range of forms, and organizers are encouraged to be creative with their events. Some popular event types are field excursions (river visits, kayak, fishway and boat trips), presentations, events at zoos, museums and aquaria and official openings of fishways and dam removals.
