World Fisheries Day is celebrated every year on November 21 to highlight the importance of fisheries and the need for sustainable management of marine resources. The day aims to raise awareness of the important role that fisheries play in providing food, livelihoods and income to millions of people around the world.
Various activities are organized on this day to promote sustainable fishing practices, preserve marine ecosystems and protect fish stocks. It is also a time to recognize the contribution of fishermen and fishing communities to the global economy.
World Fisheries Day provides an opportunity for governments, organizations and individuals to come together to discuss and address fisheries issues and work towards a sustainable future for our oceans and the communities that depend on them.
