Marine life play a major role for sustainable economy. Coastal area of Pakistan 990 k.m divided in two parts Sindh cost & Makran cost namley as Arabian sea, this is important route of fishing industreis and transportation. Main routes of transportation in Pakisatn is Karachi port and qasim port know a days gawadar port is also constructing. In this area of sea present of green turtles, fishes, dolphins, Wales, corals, Ports, volcanoes, minerals. Factors responsible for degradation of fisheries and marine life of Pakistan. Uses of harmful fishing gears are that serious threat for marine biodiversity, depletion of mangroves because mangroves are important breeding and feeding for fish these forest cover huge area at costal eight species of mangroves have been reported only four are surviving know a days. The reduction of fresh water flow into below kotrii barrage are impact on mangrow growth and productivity of fish and marine resources, increasing of pollution is disposing of untreated domestic and industrial waste in sea. Marine ecosystem challenge is that uses of non sustainable land on Karachi coastal area. Other marine life and eco system challenge in pakistan is discharge of hazardous waste in sea such as plastic waste, hospital waste oil spillage , heavy metal and glaciers melting are main cause of flood, flood also life threating for flora and fauna of this area. Sea view in karachi is continuously losing its marine life because defence housing authority disposing waste into the sea, judicial commission on water and sanitation has warmed that it might ban all construction of DHA because authority is not resolve issues of release un treated waste in Arabian sea through sea view, recently Pakistan declared astola & churna island are the protected marine area of the country. All efforts are appreciable but are not enough to solve all challanges, so require attention from the government, the Private Sector and Common People. |
