Connecting fish, rivers and people.

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. On World Fish Migration Day, organizations from around the world coordinate their own event around the common theme of: CONNECTING FISH, RIVERS AND PEOPLE. 

Every year we are inspired by the involvement from passionate WFMD organizers and attendees. We can’t wait to celebrate with the world as we help rivers, fish, and people BREAK FREE!
