🎉 This year marks WorldFish’s golden anniversary. For 50 years, WorldFish has been working closely with partners, delivering evidence-based science and innovations to empower small-scale #fishers and farmers. Dive through our journey: worldfishcenter.org/worldfish-50 #AquaticFoods

🌱 Since 2017, Ben has planted over 16,000 #mangrove seedlings, helping restore degraded coastal habitat in the Solomon Islands. This Int'#MangroveDay, Ben’s story in the @guardian is a powerful reminder that protective mangroves is vital: tinyurl.com/WFNews2507j #AquaticFoods

📣 The 2025 Ocean and Climate Change Dialogue Synthesis Report is live! Proud to have contributed to this milestone dialogue, helping elevate #aquaticfoods systems as powerful levers for #climateadaptation, #resilience, and #foodsecurity. tinyurl.com/WFPub2507d #UNOC3 #COP30

💡As a Marine Protected Area, WorldFish's Nusatupe Research Station is a thriving and ideal marine site for #coralrestoration, #fisheries research and #environmental education. This multipurpose innovation hub promotes sustainable island #foodsystems. #AquaticFoods #MangroveDay

💡Kenya's #aquaticfoods production has long been led by #inlandfisheries, but it's now calling for new opportunities in sustainable marine #fisheries. Learn how #AABSWorldFish is supporting this initiative through #SouthSouth collaboration. Watch: tinyurl.com/WFNews2507VidC

🚨 A new paper offers a groundbreaking framework for understanding how #climatechange intersects with decent work in industrial #fisheries. And while climate and fisheries models are improving, there’s still a gap in governance. Read more: tinyurl.com/WFNews2507i #AquaticFoods

📣 Cambodia's local leadership is driving real change through deep water #fishconservation zones and artificial corals to restore #aquatic habitats. This builds on our collab with @IWMI_ under @CGIAR #AsianMegaDeltas and #AquaticFoods Initiative, and now through @CGIARScaling.

📣 Call for Abstracts are now open! Be part of Delivering for #SouthAsiaNutrition 2025 (#D4N2025), a flagship regional conference focused on taking #nutritionatscale. 🔗 Submit your abstract on interventions, innovations, and policies: bit.ly/D4N2025 #AquaticFoods

💡In Assam, India, we piloted a game-changing approach to add nutrient-rich #smallfish powder to school meals. The pilot reached ~3,000 children and backed by the Prime Minister and the Gov of Assam. Read more: tinyurl.com/WFNews2507h #AquaticFoods @mygovassam @FisheriesGoI

📢TMRW @ 9:30 AM ET 📌 What Do We Know About the Future of Food Systems? 💬@ElisabettaGotor @DanMasonDCroz @ChinYeeChan1 & more 🎟️ bit.ly/FutureSystems @CGIAR @CGIARPolicy @BiovIntCIAT_eng @RTB_CGIAR @AGRA_Africa @gatesfoundation @CornellGlobal @WUR @ILRI…

🚺 Women make up half the workforce across #fisheries and #aquaculture value chains, yet still face barriers. WorldFish and @NorwayInEgypt are piloted cold chain solutions through workshops to empower these women #fishworkers. #AquaticFoods #GenderEquality #SharedProsperity

💡Cross-sector investments in food and #nutrition security, like those outlined in @IFAD's recent global action plans, are key to unlocking long-term impact. They’re not just good policy; they’re smart economics, with potential returns in the trillions by 2050. #AquaticFoods

We grow what doesn’t meet global standards. Dr M V Gupta, Former Assistant Director General, World Fish Centre (CGIAR) urged the adoption of high-grade pangasius and tilapia to unlock aquaculture’s export potential. @WorldFishCenter  #TFC #TheFoodConclave #Telangana…

🤝 As part of India’s ambitious Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan 2025, WorldFish joined the campaign to engage rural communities in Odisha. This helped bridge the lab-to-land gap, translating science into tangible solutions for rural progress: tinyurl.com/WFNews2507f #AquaticFoods

🤝 Collaboration at the district level is crucial to scale #fisheries and integrated farming systems. WorldFish, under the @CGIARScaling, met with the District Technical Working Group in Kampong Thom, Cambodia to explore synergies & co-develop approaches together. #AquaticFoods

💡40%~ of the world’s #aquaticfoods comes from #smallscalefisheries, yet it's often overlooked in data and policy. The @CGIAR Asia Digital Hub was launched at WorldFish HQ to co-create and scale solutions for #foodsystems transformation: tinyurl.com/WFNews2507e @MongabayOrg

💡Building on prior success from WorldFish's solar-powered mini #fishseed hatcheries, this model is now being scaled up through @CGIARScaling, with growing private sector collaboration. This initiative helps to improve Bangladesh’s southern delta communities. #AquaticFoods

“I couldn’t just sit back and watch the forest vanish.” The Guardian spotlights Ben Waleilia’s mangrove restoration in Solomon Islands - over 16,000 trees planted. With support from @WorldFishCenter, communities are restoring coastlines. theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
