Pakistan’s Hidden Maritime Treasure | Islands, EEZ & Untapped Ocean Wealth

Описание: Pakistan is not only rich on land, but its maritime boundaries hold immense strategic and economic value. Stretching over 1,000 kilometers along the Arabian Sea, Pakistan’s coastline and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) hide a silent treasure of islands, minerals, energy resources, and strategic advantages.

From Astola Island near the Makran coast to Bundal, Buddo, and Churna Islands near Karachi, Pakistan’s maritime islands play a crucial role in future energy security, mineral exploration, marine biodiversity, and national defense. Beneath these waters lie potential reserves of oil, gas, gas hydrates, manganese nodules, cobalt, nickel, phosphates, limestone, and construction materials.

Despite this vast potential, Pakistan has yet to fully utilize its maritime resources due to lack of awareness, policy focus, and long-term planning. With proper scientific research, environmental protection, and strategic investment, these islands and offshore resources can transform Pakistan’s economy, energy sector, employment opportunities, tourism, and maritime security.

The Arabian Sea is a vital global trade route, and Pakistan’s islands can become key assets for surveillance, naval defense, and regional influence. The future belongs to nations that invest early in ocean resources — and Pakistan stands at a critical crossroads.
