In Karachi, Pakistan, daily waste production of 16,000 tons is devastating marine life by entering the Arabian Sea, creating a “dead zone” along the coast. The port city, home to approximately 24 million people, sees at least 500 million gallons of waste dumped into the sea each day. This pollution is killing fish and other marine life, with fishermen reporting that garbage piles and sewage near fishing piers are causing widespread marine deaths. Particularly affected areas include the Gulbai and Machar Colony districts, where officials report no marine life due to severe pollution.
