Harmful fishing methods are practices that damage marine ecosystems and reduce fish populations. In Pakistan, common harmful methods include bottom trawling, which destroys seabed habitats, and the use of fine mesh nets that catch juvenile fish, preventing them from reproducing. These methods threaten the livelihoods of local fishermen and the sustainability of marine resources.
To address this, Pakistan has implemented regulations to promote sustainable fishing, such as banning destructive gear and encouraging community-based management. Public awareness campaigns and international cooperation are also key to reducing these harmful practices. |
