“…The occurrence of heavy mineral placer deposits along the east and west coast of India have been correlated with the association of country rock (Roonwal, 1997;Mallik et al, 1987). Two major sedimentary provenances can be distinguished based on the observed heavy mineral assemblages in the inland and coastal dunes.…”

“…The EEZ's marine resources in India include prawns, lobster, crustaceans, mackerel, jellyfish, pomfret and many other fish species. Inside the inland region, India possesses almost 27000 km of rivers, a 145000-km long network of waterways, reservoirs and lakes comprising 29 lakh hectares and freshwater reservoirs spanning approximately 1.5 million ha (Roonwal 1997). Recently, India has initiated a massive effort to enhance brackish water fish-eries (Vohra 2020).…”

Fisheries within India have significant financial, nutritional and socio-economic development prospects. The country has a diversified natural fishery resource. Fishermen have continuously undertaken fisheries activity throughout the country over decades and fisheries co-operatives have now been developed for cumulative production and effective regulation of fishery activities. It was observed that there have been many inconsistencies, mostly in the management of fisheries co-operatives; a few were effectively handled under active supervision and government backing, whereas many co-operatives are facing various problems for their existence. Effective administration of fisherman's co-operatives is critical for increasing fishing productivity and the socio-economic growth of fishermen. Co-operatives can help fishermen develop their skills and gather information about technology, marketing, and management. Co-operatives can improve productivity, processing, storing and transportation capabilities while also meeting financial demands. As a result, co-operative organisations may contend with multinational corporations by integrating competent management abilities with co-operative power. To do this, a nationwide research project focusing on different elements of fisheries co-operatives is recommended. The need for appropriate policy implications for such sustainable management of fisheries co-operatives in accordance with current technical advancements in the sector of aquaculture, environmental degradation and global warming has been highlighted.

“…The Indus river and its tributaries¯ow through a geological area of rock types, ranging from igneous and metamorphic to sedimentary in nature and from Precambrian to Quaternary in age, thus transporting sediments of immensely variable nature (Bender et al, 1995). The Arabian Sea is subjected to large semidiurnal tides, with an amplitudes of 1-8 m (Roonwal, 1997), and they are in¯uenced by the biannual reversal of monsoon winds. Seasonal current circulation (Wyrtki et al, 1971;Hastenrath and Greischar, 1989;Cutler and Swallow, 1984) may facilitate the reworking, sorting, transport, and accumulation of heavy minerals along the coast of Baluchistan.…”

“…Many are already being exploited for tin, ilmenite, rutile, zircon, magnetite, monazite, garnet, and so on (Siddiqui et al, 1984;Rajendran, 1994;Roonwal, 1997), but no comprehensive study of heavy mineral placers has been attempted in the marginal areas of Pakistan. Occurrence of coastal and immediate offshore placer deposits in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Pakistan is a real possibility.…”

Sorting and concentration of a variety of heavy minerals along the coast betweenGadani and Phornala, Baluchistan, are facilitated by the coincidence of the periods of maximum turbulence and wave activity, maximum percipitation, and sediments discharge. Sediment samples from different intertidal zones between Gadani and Phornala were collected for grain size analysis and petrographic=petrological study. Variations in grain size and mineral assemblage in the intertidal zones have been noted. Concentration of dark color heavy minerals has been noted in ®ne grain sediments, light color minerals are ubiquitous. The sediments exhibit wide ranges of sorting.
