WorldFish supports World Fisheries Day and through our research and with our partners, looks to reduce poverty and hunger through fisheries and aquaculture. Many other organizations, countries and individuals also have shown their support for fishing communities around the world, and as such we've compiled a list of stories, articles and media from around the globe. Social media was also busy, and proved to be a very hot topic on Twitter, tagging #WorldFisheriesDay. The common theme for the day was the recognition of the importance that fish protein has in each of our lives; the health and nutrition for those in developing countries; the impact this industry has for the livelihoods of many fisherman and their family; and the necessity to not only preserve the sustainability of the oceans, but to also invest in seeking alternative sustainable sources such as aquaculture.
Their website compiles articles from around the world about World Fish Day.
