Overwriters and disciplines force people to choose the paths that may be inappropriate or insecure for them, yet they follow the path. Hunger and misery have forced women living in villages near Jati Town in Sujul District to catch small fish, commonly called “trash fish”, so that they can remove their appetite. A resident of a village of hatch huts near Jati Town leaves their homes every day in search of dried ponds and water channels, partially dry ponds and water channels. They use buckets made of thin clothes connected to the stick. “Water scarcity has caused distress in our lives. We (fishermen) have no choice but to trash our daily eating,” “a middle -aged woman, whose husband, a fisherman, a fisherman, has gone to the fisherman, and the fisherman in the oceans, and after the fresh water.
The coastal areas of Sindh – Badin, Thutta and Sujul – have a tradition of fishing. Communities living on the banks of the Indus and the coast rely on fishing because they are an important source of livelihood, plus straws and grasses make matches and shelters and sell lotus. Its impact on the ongoing water crisis and biological diversity has affected the fishermen’s community.
The coast of Sindh, distances more than 350 km, has seen a constant crisis for the past two decades. The crisis has brought things worse. Twenty -two -year -old Rabia waits for her mother to return with a fish in the garbage so she can make it for dinner. Rabia says, “My father has gone to the high seas for fishing. He will return in two months. By then, it is my mother’s responsibility to guide our family and make arrangements for feeding us,” he said, adding that her mother used to sell her as far away.
The historian Zahid Lohar says that the fishermen of Sindh are also experts in catching fish with deep waters of freshwater lakes. They could go to freshwater lakes, water channels and ponds in search of local fish species and then sell it to markets and villages. He said the fishermen would fix the network of the lake to cause the fish net. This procedure is called jail locally. Shareing his experience about this method of catching fish, another fisherman from Jamaat Taluka village, Rohmat Bai, says he also uses his dupatta (scarf) as a net to find and catch small fish in nearby ponds.
The species of the fish are locally known as the bag (cateral), dave (pilla), kagga (catfish) and mando (black fish), which are found in nearby lakes, ponds and water channels. They are used daily by local fishing community between the shrinking opportunities of livelihoods.
Environmental, the coastal region has been notorious for two decades. Fishermen have been the worst victims after the disappearance of several species of fish, the destruction of the freshwater lakes and the lack of water.
Speaking environmentally, the coastal region has been notorious for the past two decades. Fishermen have been the worst victims after the disappearance of several species of fish, the destruction of the freshwater lakes and the lack of water. Sindh’s fisherman community has been one of the most backward communities in the country.
This community has been directly affected by the effects of weather transfer patterns and climate change. Amir Kakali, a social activist from the fishing communities of Tita and Badin districts, says the coastal areas of Sindh are not getting the required water quantity. Due to this, the water level on the local freshwater lakes has decreased significantly. Some of them have dried up. He says maritime intervention has contributed to the destruction of freshwater lakes. “The famous natural lakes of the past – the cowards, the sesame, Chen Bhilo, the car, the Kalakan Chinni and many others have disappeared. There is no sign of their existence today.” “The fishing River in the region is as old as the Indus and the Arabian Sea,” said Hanif Mullah, in reference to the poetry of the famous poet of Sindh, Shah Abdul Latif Bhatti, who described the love of Shah Jam Nizandin, who was a fisherman to marry a fisherman, Noori, to marry him. Noor lived in a slum population on the banks of the famous Kanjhar Lake.
He says the permanent shortage of water has not only caused the lake to relieve the lakes, but also have caused some fish species to destroy. “Tenolosa Elisha, called locally yellow, Gudosia Chapter, commonly known as Palri, Barbus Saranius, who belongs to the family of Cypreneadi and is commonly known as Papro, and Sirius Margala, known as Local, is known as Local.
The falling opportunities of livelihoods have forced many families of fishermen to migrate to other districts of Sindh. He has migrated differently in Jamshoro, Nawabshah, Sangar and Dadu in search of livelihood. Journalist Iqbal Jakhero says that many villages near Khro Chen, Shah Binder, Kothi, Jatti and Golranchi cities present a deserted look as fishermen living there have moved to other areas.
Responding to a question regarding government measures, he says he has not had much success because of failure to promote corruption in corruption or beneficial communities. He says that NGOs, such as Pakistan Fisher Lok Forum and coastal development organizations, have made permanent efforts to improve the quality of life of the fishermen, among others, but failed.
