WWF-Pakistan, carries out successful cleanup operation at Kaio Island near Karachi

KARACHI – WWF-Pakistan and Engro Vopak Terminal Limited carried out a major underwater cleanup operation at Kaio Island near Karachi on Saturday.
According to WWF-Pakistan, there is a global concern that coastal habitat including underwater habitats along the islands are seriously being affected by solid wastes originating from land based activities which includes accidental spillage of solid material in the sea or by deliberate disposal of solid wastes.
Derelict fishing nets are another serious threat to underwater marine life because such nets keep on catching and killing fish and engage in ghost fishing. Worldwide efforts are being made to undertake regular cleanup operation to remove debris from important underwater habitats so as to restore natural conditions.
