Fishing and Diving in Pakistan: Exploring Coastal Traditions
Fishing and diving are integral parts of Pakistan\“s coastal culture, particularly in regions like Sindh and Balochistan. The Arabian Sea offers rich marine biodiversity, supporting local livelihoods through traditional fishing methods passed down through generations.Local fishermen use wooden boats called \“horis\“ and employ techniques such as net casting and line fishing. Diving activities, though less commercial, are gaining popularity for pearl harvesting and underwater exploration in clear coastal waters.
These practices not only provide sustenance but also preserve cultural heritage, with fishing communities maintaining unique customs, folklore, and seafood-based cuisine that reflect Pakistan\“s diverse coastal identity.
