Dear colleagues,
You
are invited to join
the 5th global
celebration for migratory fish and healthy
rivers!
We
are preparing the 5th World Fish
Migration Day on May 21, 2022! An
amazing milestone and we are super proud that we
got to this point. We hope you are joining up too
to raise awareness and help save migratory fish
and free-flowing rivers. The WFMD2022 is organized
in close cooperation with WWF, TNC, University of
Nevada, IUCN Freshwater Fish Specialist Group,
Dutch Angling Association. More than 100
organisations have become our partner and help us
to create impact. And what’s truly special is that
more than 4000 organisations were involved in
organising events over the past years.
We
will celebrate a truly special World Fish
Migration Day 2022, with our new BREAK
FREE campaign! We have received news from
many past participants already, letting us know
what they are planning for their next event. In
the following months we will be sharing all of
this news and more in our WFMD newsletters and
social media channels. You can receive our monthly
newsletters by signing up HERE!
We
are excited to let you know about several
important things:
- Event ideas and guidance: we
have attached our updated participant guideline which
also gives an overview of event ideas from the
last years. We have seen so much creativity over
the years. Just take a look and we hope it
inspires you to join too.
- We have a completely new website! You are
welcome to explore the new features and REGISTER

know any details yet. A personal event account
will be created automatically and you’ll be able
to update your event at any time.

petition where all organizations are
encouraged to sign and support. We already have
330 signatures from 72 countries! Please sign

We
would like to please ask you to share this
invitation message with all of your
networks and media channels (when possible). We
know that with your help, we will reach the whole
planet!!
Have
