Dear Members, Stakeholders, and Supporters of NOAMI,
As the Executive Director of the National Oceanographic and Maritime Institute (NOAMI), it is my privilege to share a few thoughts with you. NOAMI’s journey has been one of vision, collaboration, and commitment to advancing oceanographic research and maritime development in Bangladesh and beyond.

Our oceans present both unparalleled opportunities and formidable challenges. They are a cornerstone of our nation’s economic and environmental security, offering vast resources that must be managed sustainably. At NOAMI, we are addressing these challenges through science, innovation, and partnerships to create impactful solutions.

Our focus remains on:
1. Conducting pioneering research to inform policy and practice.
2. Building capacity to empower individuals and institutions in the maritime sector.
3. Facilitating collaboration among national, regional, and global stakeholders.
4. Advocating for the sustainable utilization and conservation of marine resources.

NOAMI’s strength lies in its people—dedicated researchers, passionate members, and committed partners. Together, we have achieved significant milestones, from groundbreaking studies to influencing policies that benefit Bangladesh and the broader region. Yet, there is much more to accomplish.

Looking ahead, I am optimistic about the future we can shape together. I invite you to join us in advancing our mission, contributing to a sustainable blue economy, and ensuring that our oceans remain a source of life and prosperity for generations to come.

Thank you for your continued support and trust in NOAMI. Together, we can achieve remarkable outcomes for our oceans and our shared future.

With best regards,

Dr. Mohan Kumar Das
Executive Director
National Oceanographic and Maritime Institute (NOAMI)
