Speaking at a press conference on July 7, Lao Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Chanthakhone Boualaphanh highlighted the significance of the day and emphasised the government's commitment to the sustainable management, protection, and development of aquatic resources, which are vital to the livelihoods of the Lao people.

Laos is home to over 500 fish species, which play a vital role in maintaining the country's ecological balance and represent an important part of its natural heritage. Each year, nationwide activities are held to raise public awareness, especially among young people, about the importance of conserving aquatic life and protecting ecosystems.

According to Xinhua news agency, in 2024, over 64 million fish and aquatic animals were released across Laos, supported by local communities, businesses, and international organizations. Building on that effort, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment will partner with local authorities nationwide in 2025 to launch a fish and aquatic animal release campaign aimed at restoring natural ecosystems and water sources.

In addition, the ministry is working with its partners to strengthen the fisheries sector, aiming to promote the sustainable development of the country's fisheries industry.
