Pakistan\“s fishing industry is increasingly adopting eco friendly fishing gear to protect marine ecosystems while maintaining traditional practices. Local fishermen in coastal areas like Karachi, Gwadar, and Ormara are transitioning to sustainable equipment that minimizes bycatch and habitat damage.
Traditional Pakistani fishing methods using handlines and small nets are being enhanced with biodegradable materials and selective gear designs. These innovations help preserve the Arabian Sea\“s biodiversity while supporting local livelihoods through responsible fishing practices.
Community-based initiatives promote the use of turtle excluder devices and modified nets that reduce accidental capture of endangered species. This approach combines modern environmental awareness with Pakistan\“s rich maritime heritage, creating a sustainable future for coastal communities. |
