| Summary: | The report is the result of detailed
research and consultation, which included review of
literature, original analysis of fisheries data, and
extensive meetings with people from the Federal Government,
Provincial Governments, the private sector, and
non-government and international organizations.
Consultations were roughly evenly divided across capture
fisheries, culture fisheries, and cross-cutting issues. The
findings are organized in four remaining sections: part two
provides an overview of the current state of fisheries in
Pakistan. Information on fisheries' contribution to the
economy, production trends, and fishing practices for
marine, inland, and aquaculture is presented. Part two also
provides an overview of the existing fisheries governance
arrangements including current policy and legal framework
and institutional arrangements. Part three provides an
analysis of the potential benefits that could be realized
through a revitalization of Pakistan’s fishery sector. Part
four gives an analysis of the challenges to realizing these
benefits. Part five describes specific activities necessary
to overcome the challenges identified in part four. It
provides recommendations within five themes: (1) creating an
enabling environment for growth, (2) managing marine capture
fisheries for long-term sustainability, (3) ensuring
sustainable inland capture fisheries, (4) supporting the
development of an environmentally sensitive aquaculture
industry, and (5) optimizing the benefits of a productive
fisheries sector for social goals. |
