🌊 On the occasion of World Water Day, on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, the West Transdanubian Water Directorate and the Vas County Association of Sport Fishing Associations jointly organized an educational program in Szombathely, on the banks of the Arany Stream and the Boating Lake. 🎣🌍 📚 The aim of the unusual environmental lesson was to draw attention to the importance of water 💧, as well as the significance of fish protection and sustainable fishing. 👧🧒 As part of the program, the organizers gave lectures on the basics of fishing and the fish fauna to about 100-120 children. The children came from the Reményik Sándor and Oladi Elementary Schools. 🏫 The students were able to learn about the ecosystem of natural waters and gain practical insight into water measurements and the world of fishing. 🐟 While the different school groups were alternating, a spectacular fish stocking took place: scads of carp from the Balaton Fish Farming Co. were placed in the lakes. During this: ✅ 400 kg of fish were placed in the Szombathely Boating Lake 🏞️ ✅ 200 kg of fish were placed in the neighboring Horgász Lake 🎣 🎉 The event provided a special experience for the young people, as they were able to observe the fish stocking process up close, and the bravest ones were able to participate in releasing a scaly carp themselves. 🐟🤲 📅 World Water Day has been celebrated every year on March 22nd worldwide since 1993 to draw attention to the importance of clean water and the need to preserve it. 💦🌍 Wednesday's event provided an excellent opportunity for members of the younger generation to become more aware of water protection and sustainable water management. 🙏 We thank the West Transdanubian Water Management Directorate for the opportunity to be part of the program! 💙
