World Water Animal Day
World Aquatic Day was founded in 2020 by people from the Animal Law Clinic at Lewis & Clark Law School (Portland, Oregon, USA) who wanted to draw attention to the importance of aquatic animals to our society and ecosystems. Aquatic animals, which are widely distributed around the world, are often threatened as a result of the interactions that humans have directly with the animals or indirectly through the disturbance of their habitats.
