Activities

The National Oceanographic and Maritime Institute (NOAMI) was established in 19798 by a group of marine science enthusiasts to promote education and training in oceanographic sciences, build a robust knowledge base, and disseminate this knowledge to the public and decision-makers. Its goal has always been to support Bangladesh’s socio-economic development through the exploration and sustainable utilization of its oceanographic resources. The Founder Chairman of NOAMI was Rear Admiral Musharraf Hussain Khan, (ND), psc, BN, (Retd) (P No 2), (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._H._Khan) who served as the former Chief of the Bangladesh Navy.

Over the past 46 years, NOAMI has been a leader in promoting ocean sciences by executing various projects and hosting international, regional, and national conferences, seminars, and symposia. Additionally, NOAMI regularly sends delegates to participate in international events and disseminates the insights gained through meetings, seminars, scientific paper publications, and its own journal and newsletter.

NOAMI is affiliated with the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO and actively engages in UN Ocean Decade activities. Since its inception, it has organized over 150 seminars/workshops and 50 training programs focused on ocean, marine, and multidisciplinary issues. A hallmark achievement is its Training Course on Oceanography, initiated in 2003. This course has trained over 400 professionals from multidisciplinary institutes and gained recognition from both national and international communities.

To further enhance capacity building and research excellence, NOAMI offers a series of seven specialized training programs (https://forms.gle/xxcPTomyjFcbmEhbA):

1. Training Course on Oceanography: Principles and Applications (OCEAN)

2. Research Training Course on ArcGIS Pro and Remote Sensing (ArcPro)

3. Training Course on Spatial Mapping and Analysis using Remote Sensing and GIS Technology (SMART)

4. Training on Numerical Model & AI for Ocean (NAIOR) (UN Ocean Decade Endorsed)

5. Python for Ocean & Earth Science Data Analysis (PEace) (UN Ocean Decade Endorsed)

6. Training Course on R Programming for Earth, Climate & Human Science (REaCH)

7. Certificate Course on Blue Economy and Maritime Governance (BlueGov)

8. Training on Applications of Google Earth Engine and Remote Sensing in Earth and Environmental Sciences (AGREE)

9. Training Course on Dynamical Oceanography and Mathematical Modeling (DynaMo) (in preparation)

These programs aim to equip participants with state-of-the-art tools, methodologies, and insights to foster sustainable development in the region.

Since 1983, NOAMI has published one of Bangladesh’s pioneering journals, The Journal of NOAMI, which focuses on ocean and marine sciences, further cementing its influence. It has also played a pivotal role in establishing oceanographic departments in numerous universities and research institutions nationwide. As a pioneering nonprofit organization, NOAMI’s contributions to marine and ocean sciences in Bangladesh have been substantial and continue to grow.
