Inshore fishing has been an integral part of Pakistan\“s coastal communities for centuries, particularly in Sindh and Balochistan provinces. Local fishermen use traditional wooden boats called \“horas\“ and employ age-old techniques passed down through generations.
The fishing communities follow unique cultural practices, including special prayers before embarking on fishing trips and traditional celebrations after successful catches. These rituals reflect the deep connection between the people and the sea.
Traditional Pakistani inshore fishing methods include the use of gill nets, cast nets, and hand lines, with fishing activities primarily concentrated in the Arabian Sea along Pakistan\“s 1,046 km coastline.
Local fishing communities have developed sustainable practices that respect marine ecosystems, with knowledge transmitted orally from elders to younger generations, preserving both cultural heritage and environmental balance. |
