World Fishing Day
June 27 · Level 7 · #765 of 2238
World Fishing Day recognises an activity that provides food and livelihoods as well as a favourite way to spend time outdoors. It is an opportunity to celebrate fishing while considering how healthy waters can continue to support it.
How it is celebrated: anglers meet for fishing outings and competitions, exchange practical knowledge and spend time together by the water. Environmental activities can include shoreline clean-ups and discussions about protecting aquatic habitats.
Fishing reaches beyond fish: harvesting crustaceans and molluscs is also part of the fisheries sector.
