World Fisheries Day, observed every November 21st, is a global event that underscores the critical importance of sustainable fisheries and the need to protect aquatic ecosystems and the livelihoods of fishing communities.
The Day originated in 1997 when the "World Forum of Fish Harvesters & Fish Workers" convened in New Delhi. During this meeting, representatives from 18 countries came together to establish the "World Fisheries Forum" and signed a declaration advocating for adopting sustainable fishing practices and policies worldwide.
This year’s World Fisheries Day 2024 theme is India’s Blue Transformation: Strengthening Small-Scale and Sustainable Fisheries.
