In an unprecedented marine wildlife event, a colossal black whale spotted alive off the coast of Gadani, Balochistan. This sighting marks a significant milestone in marine wildlife observation.
The magnificent creature seen approximately two to three kilometres off the Gadani coast, captivating onlookers with its graceful movements in the open sea. The black whale, a rare and elusive species, seldom seen in marine environments, making this sighting all the more extraordinary.
The whale, estimated to be 100 feet long, 50 feet wide, and weighing over 150 tonnes, is one of the largest species in marine life. Its immense size, ranging from 10 to a staggering 200 tons, sets it apart from other marine species.
This event is a historic first for Gadani, contrasting with previous incidents where deceased whales found stranded along various Balochistan beaches. Local fishermen, awed by the sighting, view the whale’s presence near the shore as a sign of good fortune for their sea ventures.
Despite the region’s growing reputation as a hub for aquatic biodiversity, it faces threats from illegal trawling activities that disrupt the delicate ecosystem and pose a danger to rare species like the black whale. This event underscores the need for increased marine conservation efforts to protect these majestic creatures and their habitat.
