Fishing Quota Management in Pakistan
Fishing quota management in Pakistan involves regulating the amount of fish that can be caught by commercial and local fishermen to ensure sustainable fishing practices. The government sets specific limits based on scientific assessments of fish stocks to prevent overfishing and protect marine biodiversity.In coastal areas like Karachi and Gwadar, fishing quotas are allocated to different fishing communities, considering traditional fishing rights and modern conservation needs. These quotas help maintain the balance between supporting local livelihoods and preserving fish populations for future generations.
Local fishermen often use traditional wooden boats and nets, and the quota system ensures that their catch does not exceed sustainable levels. Monitoring and enforcement are carried out by maritime authorities to prevent illegal fishing and quota violations.
