Pakistan’s 240,000 sq km sea territory remains unexplored
By Munawar Hasan, 26 May 2006
LAHORE: Control over marine resources has been undermined because
of Pakistan’s inability to participate in the mega-activity, ‘Census of Marine Life’,
being carried out worldwide to scientifically assess ocean resources.
Apathy on the part of officials has deprived Pakistan of strengthened control
over marine life and species found on its coasts.
Dr Shahid Amjad, former Director-General, National Institute of Oceanography,
said he had been contacted by organisers of a regional CoML meeting in 2003.
However, he said, the federal government had not allowed participation in the
meeting due to security concerns.

IOC-XXIII/3 prov., Annex II - page 5, Resolution XXIII-3:
CENSUS OF MARINE LIFE
The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission,
Noting the progress in the Census of Marine Life, a ten-year initiative over 2001-2010 to assess and
explain the diversity, distribution, and abundance of marine life in the oceans,
Recalling the expression of support for the Census of Marine Life from the 33rd Session of the
Executive Council and the instruction to the IOC Secretariat to develop an appropriate mechanism for
IOC involvement in the Census,
Recognizing that scientists of Member States are taking an active part in the Census and that there are
links to the Census through IODE and GOOS,
Acknowledging the Census of Marine Life as an important tool for the international community to gain
information on marine life and as a provider of monitoring methods for marine life for GOOS,
Urges Member States, particularly those whose scientists are not already involved in the Census of
Marine Life or in its Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) initiative, to support active
participation, with a view to contributing to the achievement of the goals of the Census of Marine Life
by 2010;
Encourages the integration of OBIS into the IODE;
Instructs the IOC Executive Secretary to report to the Executive Council at its 39th Session on the
potential of the major elements of the Census of Marine Life initiative (History of Marine Animal
Populations (HMAP); Ocean Realm Field Projects; and the Future of Marine Animal Populations
(FMAP)) to contribute to the IOC Main Lines of Action, in particular Ocean Sciences and GOOS, as well
as to other activities supported by IOC, such as the International Polar Year and to further report to the
Executive Council on the contributions that IOC Main Lines of Action are making to the Census of
Marine Life effort.
Rationale for CFI & IPY
Global Ocean Tracking Network
1. Fisheries and conservation management fail from lack
of knowledge about marine species’ movements.
2. We need >1000 times as much information as we have.
3. We cannot pay 1000 times as much!
Therefore, we need a new way to gather information
1. Canadian acoustic tags uniquely code 1,000,000 animals
from 20g salmon to 20MT whales for 20 years.
2. ‘Coastal curtains’ of receivers automatically record their
passage – E-Tags for fish.
3. This system has strong economies of scale – the more
information we collect the less it costs.
4. Curtains simultaneously monitor ocean temperature,
salinity, etc.

Possible differential migration pathways for the steelhead from three study sites. Pathways are
conjectural, as there have been no direct tracking studies, although there is evidence for “2-postal codes”
in salmonids. Archival tagging should provide clear resolution of residence zones and pathways.
