Fish On The Move – with Luisa Fontoura Discover the brilliant minds behind our 2025 winners! On March 21, we unveiled our 2025 winners.

The Fish On The Move project tackles an often overlooked issue: the protection of migration corridors for marine species. Although marine protected areas are multiplying, they are often static… while fish are not. Thanks to an innovative approach that combines marine current modeling and local fishermen’s knowledge, this project identifies crucial areas in the life cycle of species – from eggs to adults – to better protect biodiversity and livelihoods. Its aim: to optimize the connectivity of Australia’s marine protected areas to boost biodiversity!
