  • Government shuold take somesteps to prevent toxic which are flowing in the sea,untill the merine lives nearby side in danger.It is also effecting nearby ground water.
  • A television special on this place mentioned how the range of the tides, the slope of the bottom, and the low costs of labor made this a prime location to scrap ships. An extreme high tide would be waited for then the captain with few if any other crew aboard would make full speed and drive the ship as high up the shore as it would go.
  • 28 ships on 2/11/2017 one up on Gadani in Pakistan
