Such fishermen are allegedly back by the Gwadar’s MPA Mualana Hidayat ur Rehman.

The fishing harbour of Pasni helps in storing, processing, and transporting the fish to other cities of Pakistan.
Fishermen often face challenges like bad weather, lack of modern equipment, and high fuel costs, yet they continue their hard work.
Fishing not only supports the economy of Pasni but also provides fresh seafood to the whole region.
