World Fish Migration Day 2016 is a one day event to create worldwide awareness of the importance
of freshwater migratory fish and open rivers for the general public,
especially students and their teachers, resource managers and engineers,
and commercial and recreational anglers, as well as those individuals
who influence public policy that affect rivers. It is a global
initiative with activities organized to reach these audiences. At the individual event level, organizations undertake the development
of an activity to raise awareness and involve local people and media
about fish migration and open rivers. Local events include a range of
activities: river rally, fish exhibition, art competition, quiz, presentation, documentary show, the opening of
fishways, races, food festivals, etc.
