Statement of the Executive Director

In my capacity as the Executive Director of the National Oceanographic and Maritime Institute (NOAMI), I am honored to reflect upon the organization’s progress and its unwavering commitment to the advancement of oceanographic research and maritime development. NOAMI’s trajectory has been defined by a clear vision and a collaborative spirit, aimed at positioning Bangladesh as a leader in maritime excellence. As our oceans represent a vital cornerstone of national economic and environmental security, they offer unparalleled opportunities that must be balanced against formidable challenges. Addressing these complexities requires a rigorous integration of science, innovation, and strategic partnerships to ensure that marine resources are managed both effectively and sustainably.

Our institutional focus remains dedicated to several core strategic pillars, beginning with the conduct of pioneering research intended to inform national policy and professional practice. Furthermore, we are committed to building institutional capacity and empowering individuals within the maritime sector, while simultaneously facilitating essential cooperation among national, regional, and global stakeholders. Central to our mission is the advocacy for the responsible utilization and conservation of marine ecosystems. The strength of NOAMI is inherently tied to its people—our dedicated researchers, passionate members, and committed partners—whose collective efforts have already resulted in significant milestones and groundbreaking studies that influence regional maritime policy.

Looking toward the future, I remain profoundly optimistic regarding the impact we can achieve through continued collaboration. I invite all stakeholders to join us in our mission to advance a sustainable blue economy, ensuring that our oceans remain a resilient source of prosperity for generations to come. We remain grateful for your continued support and trust in NOAMI as we work together to achieve remarkable outcomes for our shared maritime future.
