World Day for the End of Fishing[modifier | modifier le code]
World Day for the End of Fishing (Journée Mondiale pour la fin de la pêche, JMFP) is an international day calling for the end of fishing in all its forms. The first edition was held for the first time on March 25, 2017 in several cities around the world. Subsequent editions will be held on the last Saturday in March each year.
The initiative was created by the Swiss association Pour l'égalité animale (PEA), notably under the initiative of Yves Bonnardel.
