The federal government has announced to covert the Charna Island into National Marine Park.

Prime Minister Imran Khan has sought a report in this regard from Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam.

PM has further requested the authorities to make arrangements for turning Charna Island into a marine protected area.

Churna Island is a small, uninhabited island located in the Arabian Sea, about 9 km west of the mouth of the Hub River called ‘Manjhar Beach’, at the boundary between the provinces of Balochistan and Sindh.
