When I was looking for information, specifically about coral reefs in Pakistan the information available was either "there are no coral reefs in Pakistan" or "few patches of coral reefs are found in Pakistan". Looking at the condition of our beaches, i really thought it would be true. I then visited the Center of Excellence in Marine Biology in Karachi University, where they have already started their work of collecting samples, studying and classifying the more than 30 species of corals in our seas. The researchers go scuba diving in the clean beaches of Pasni, Stola island and Charna etc to study the ecosystem of the coral reefs of these area. Hopefully their work will be published soon and awareness about these coral reefs would make the people concious of the beauty the oceans store for us. So instead of polluting the oceans and harming our coral, we'll clean the waters so that the coral life flourishes. It was very heartening to read Shirazi's post. Someone out there cares!
