Product Description

“Impact of Pakistan Maritime Affairs on Blue Economy in Backdrop of CEPEC” is an attempt to dissect the problems that hold back channelizing all-important maritime zones especially EEZ that holds the enormous potential of economic dividends. Pakistan had fought several wars with neighboring India and resulted in a domineering focus on security-related issues and hence, marine studies were termed as a secondary matter. From the pen of one of the most accomplished officers of Pakistan Navy scribed a marvelous document of original studies that indeed stretches insights into many complicated; but, precise facts on marine studies and its scope. It is a research of untapped economic opportunities in maritime zones offered by the collective sea beaches of the provinces of Baluchistan and Sindh. Ironically, since the commencement of this century, the influx of countries in Asia twisted to sea. Countries have reoriented themselves and shed old land centric policies to assert and lay claims over vast swathes of ocean expanse. It is a natural repercussion of shrinking land-based resources and bloating population. The friction over sea-based resources is expected to intensify in the foreseeable future. Over 290,000 Sq. Km of sea zones belong to Pakistan, is a vast tract by any measure. This vastness is rich in Marine resources. Yet most remain either unexplored or else desecrated and may face the natural process of extinction. Histories, culture, lack of marine scientific research beside disorganized efforts being tried by various stakeholders are some notable factors that encumbered meaningful progress. With Gwadar port on the western fringes of Makran coast in Baluchistan now becoming a hub of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CEPEC), the country seems well poised to commence a new era of maritime awareness. To accrue tangible benefits or stem the tide of challenges, a palpable “will” at the federal level and synergetic involvement of stakeholders is nonetheless a necessary condition.
