World Fish Migration Day

World Fish Migration Day, October 24, is a one-day global celebration about the importance of free-flowing rivers and migratory fish.

Fish migration is essential for healthy rivers. Migratory fish all over the world depend on free flowing rivers. Today, river barriers like dams, sluices and many other obstacles threaten many fish species’ survival.

Free flowing rivers that allow fish to travel upriver increase fish populations in the river and assure healthy river life.
