More than 18,000 small fishing boats are registered with the MarineFisheries Department in Karachi; at least 12,000 of them are operational along the 999-km coastal line of Pakistan. Over-fishing and pollution continue to threaten the marineresources and the livelihood of thousands of fishermen in Pakistan. This could be gauged from the fact that about 300 million gallons (MGD) of untreated industrial and municipalwaste is thrown into the Arabian Sea every day. The ratio between land and sea pollution in Karachi is 1:10, according to an official who requested not to be named.
It borderswith India, Iran, Afghanistan, China and Arabian Sea. Now is officially called Islamic Republic of Pakistan. It is the sixth most populous country, with over 190 millionhabitants, approximately 94% Muslim.
WWF’s Global Marine Programme works with legitimate, proactive players in the fishing industry who are interested in safeguarding healthy,sustainable marine ecosystems that provide a future for their livelihoods. The basis for our fisheries work is ecosystem-based management (EBM) - which aims to achieve sustainableexploitation of natural resources by balancing the social and economic needs of human communities with the maintenance of healthy ecosystem. Deep-sea trawling has a long,exploitative history. According to The Footprint of Distant Water on World Fisheries, a study compiled by the World Wildlife Fund-International, as early as 1575, hundreds ofvessels from France, Portugal, and Great Britain were fishing for cod in the productive fishing grounds of the "New World."
We are open to make all to change our fisheries
