Fishing in Pakistan faces several disadvantages that affect local communities and cultural practices. Traditional fishing methods are being replaced by modern techniques, leading to the loss of cultural heritage.
Overfishing in coastal areas like Karachi and Gwadar has depleted fish stocks, impacting the livelihoods of local fishermen. Many families who have relied on fishing for generations are now struggling to maintain their traditional way of life.
Environmental pollution from industrial waste and agricultural runoff has contaminated water bodies, making fishing unsafe in many regions. This not only affects food security but also disrupts cultural fishing practices that have been passed down through generations.
The younger generation in fishing communities is increasingly moving to urban areas for better opportunities, leading to a decline in traditional fishing knowledge and skills. This cultural shift threatens the preservation of unique fishing traditions in Pakistan. |
