Dear Members, Stakeholders, and Friends of NOAMI,
It is with immense pride and a deep sense of responsibility that I address you as the General Secretary of the National Oceanographic and Maritime Institute (NOAMI). Since its inception, NOAMI has been at the forefront of advancing oceanographic and maritime research, fostering collaboration, and driving sustainable development for our oceans and maritime sectors in Bangladesh and beyond.
The oceans are not just a vital resource for our nation—they are the lifeblood of global ecological and economic systems. At NOAMI, we recognize the profound challenges and opportunities that come with being stewards of this vast blue frontier. From tackling the impacts of climate change and marine pollution to promoting sustainable fisheries and maritime industries, our mission is deeply rooted in securing a sustainable and prosperous future for generations to come.
Through our research initiatives, capacity-building programs, and policy advocacy, NOAMI aims to:
1. Advance scientific understanding of marine and coastal ecosystems.
2. Support the development of resilient maritime infrastructure.
3. Collaborate with national and international partners to promote knowledge sharing and innovation.
4. Raise awareness about the importance of ocean conservation among policymakers, industry leaders, and the wider community.
Our achievements are a testament to the dedication of our researchers, members, and partners who share our vision. Yet, the journey ahead requires greater unity and action. I urge all stakeholders to join hands with NOAMI in amplifying our efforts to protect and sustainably utilize our ocean resources.
Together, let us strive to make a meaningful impact, championing the principles of sustainability, equity, and scientific excellence. The challenges are great, but our commitment is greater.
Thank you for your unwavering support and trust in NOAMI’s mission.
With warm regards,
Professor Dr. A. K. M. Saiful Islam
General Secretary
National Oceanographic and Maritime Institute (NOAMI)
