In coastal regions like Sindh and Balochistan, fishing is not just an economic activity but a cultural heritage passed down through generations.

To address these, the government and NGOs are promoting awareness on safety protocols, including the use of life jackets and weather monitoring systems. Culturally, fishing rituals and community cooperation play a vital role in ensuring security, with elders sharing knowledge on safe fishing times and techniques. This integration of local wisdom with technology helps protect both fishermen and marine resources, fostering sustainable development in Pakistan\“s fishing industry.
