The International Day of Fish is celebrated annually on July 5 to raise awareness about the importance of fish and sustainable fishing practices. This day highlights the role of fish in global food security, nutrition, and livelihoods, especially for communities that rely on fishing as a primary source of income. The observance encourages governments, organizations, and individuals to promote sustainable fishing methods and protect aquatic ecosystems. By focusing on responsible practices, the day aims to ensure that fish populations remain healthy and that future generations can continue to benefit from this vital resource.
