World Fish Migration Day

Dates: 25 May 2024

Expand

Global awareness raising event

World Fish Migration Day (WFMD) culminates every two years in a global celebration to create awareness about the importance of migratory fish and free-flowing rivers. This international day of events is coordinated by the World Fish Migration Foundation. On World Fish Migration Day, organizations from around the world coordinate their own event around the common theme of: CONNECTING FISH, RIVERS AND PEOPLE.

Our vision is free flowing rivers full of fish! But how do these rivers look like. Where can you find them? Who depends on these fish and why is it important to have rivers full of fish? This is why this sixth WFMD edition (May 25, 2024) we selected the following theme: FREE FLOW. So on the next WFMD we are not only talking about fish in free-flowing rivers, but also about small water insects, fish eating birds, otters, river dolphins, bears and humans. Let's join up for another amazing event to celebrate our successes and share our challenges.

MSEAS

Marine Socio-Ecological Systems: Navigating global change in the marine environment 3-7 June 2024 Yokohama, Japan
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​MSEAS 2024 symposium will focus on the integrated assessment of multiple ocean uses across sectors, including: fisheries, renewable energy, coastal development, oil and gas, transport, and the need for conservation. Emphasis will be on the methodological and empirical challenges involved in including the human dimensions in integrated ecosystem assessments. Understanding these complex social-ecological systems is a challenging new area of research that combines multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary components. The integrated marine focus is relatively new, as previous research efforts have either been terrestrially focused or dealt primarily with single sectors. MSEAS 2024 is endorsed as an official activity of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development UNDOS.​
