6.5 Chapter Summary

This chapter identifies the locations of hotspots of coastal erosion in Pakistan and suggests

relevant interventions to deal with the erosion problem. It also provides a list of recommended interventions at macro, meso and micro level.

Finally, a prioritised intervention is recommended for piloting in the field.

Coastal erosion along the Balochistan and Sindh coast is prevalent due to mismanagement of development work undertaken at the coast. Pakistan has a variety of coastal features that include deltas, raised terraces and raised beaches and has been under direct attack of storm surges and Arabian Sea cyclones. If the coastal zone is managed in a scientific manner by conducting hydrodynamic surveys before embarking upon any coastal project or a project which has influence on the coast then it will become a coastal area with socio-economic value.

Most of the beaches are economically important as they can serve as prime tourist destinations if protected accordingly. The projected acceleration of sea level rise and increase in the frequency and intensity of storms and cyclones have made the task more challenging. Despite the common occurrence and severity in many cases, coastal erosion is not yet fully recognised as a threat to coastal communities at the national level. As such, there are currently no national or local policies directly addressing coastal erosion. Several government agencies at different administrative levels are involved in the management of the coastal areas; they are not committed to directly deal with coastal erosion.

It is very necessary to re-think the present mode by which the coastal areas of Sindh and Balochistan are being managed. Acceleration of the nationwide mapping of coastal erosion and pushing for understanding of the hazard are urgently needed. Understanding of coastal dynamics, including identification of sediment sources and their movement directions are critically important for addressing the erosion issue. To deal with all these factors, a coastal erosion management plan should be developed for defining the scope of work to address the coastal erosion in Pakistan.

It has been observed that the areas which receive freshwater on regular or intermediate basis, especially in the lower delta have dense mangrove forests.

Therefore, the areas of the delta receiving continuous or seasonal river flows may be planted with mangrove or other suitable species after determining their suitability based on site characteristics.
