Overview – Astola Island Marine Protected Area
The Astola Island Marine Protected Area Trip provides a unique coastal escape along Pakistan’s pristine Arabian Sea. Astola Island, located near Pasni in Balochistan, is the country’s largest offshore island and has been designated a marine sanctuary since 2017.
