Mission Statement

"At the Tropical Marinelife Center in Bangladesh, our mission is to champion the preservation, understanding, and sustainable coexistence of the vibrant and diverse marine life found along the breathtaking coastlines of Bangladesh and beyond. We are dedicated to nurturing a profound respect for our oceans and their inhabitants, fostering ecological awareness, and promoting responsible stewardship of our marine ecosystems.

Through pioneering research, education, and conservation initiatives, we strive to protect and restore endangered species, such as sea turtles, while safeguarding the delicate balance of marine biodiversity. Our commitment to science-based practices, community engagement, and international collaboration ensures that we leave a lasting, positive impact on both local and global marine environments.

We aspire to inspire the next generation of ocean advocates, equipping them with the knowledge and passion to safeguard our seas. By celebrating the wonders of marine life and advocating for preserving our coastal treasures, we aim to create a world where humans and nature harmoniously coexist, ensuring the longevity of our oceans for generations to come.

Join us in our mission to explore, protect, and celebrate the enchanting world beneath the waves. Together, we can make a difference and secure a brighter future for our oceans and the magnificent creatures that call them home."

Cetaceans of Bay of Bengal

Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises Bryde’s Whale Family: Balaenopteridae Genus: Balaenoptera Species: B. edeni Lesson, 1828 Taxonomic Note: Some researchers recognize a similar animal for which they have given a separate species identification as Omura’s whale (B alaenoptera omura ). Confirmation of this is speculative and if globally recognized, a separate species page will be added. Bryde’s whales (often pronounced “brudas”) inhabit the tropical and subtropical oceans of the world and are naturally not as numerous as other rorqual species because food is less abundant in tropical waters. They are often confused with sei whales, but can be distinguished by the three prominent ridges present on their head. If close-up inspection is possible, the coarse gray baleen and ventral throat pleats extending to or beyond the navel are additional characteristics that identify Bryde’s whales. These whales are rather solitary in their habits, usually keepin...

Sea Turtle Monitoring & Conservation

Sea Turtle Monitoring & Conservation Marine turtles are significant bio-indicators of the world ocean environment. Saving these magnificent animal we can infact protect our ocean life. They are reptilian, ancient and distinctive part of the marine biodiversity evolved more the 150 million years before. Roaming around the worlds ocean marine turtles have existed since their giant land turtle ancestors returned to the sea sometime during the age of dinosaurs. Scientists recognize 7 living species of sea turtles under 6 genera like Olive ridley ( Lepidochelys olivacea ), Green turtle ( Chelonia mydas ), Loggerhead ( Caretta caretta ), Leatherback ( Dermochelys coriacea ), Hawksbill ( Eretmochelys imbricata ), Kemp's ridley ( Lepidochelys kempii ), Flatback ( Natator depressa ). Each marine turtle has deferent characteristic. The distinctive race of the eastern pacific green turtle is refereed to as the Black turtle should be green turtle subspecies (Chelonia mydas ...

NASA Announces Summer 2023 Hottest on Record This map depicts global temperature anomalies for meteorological summer in 2023 (June, July, and August). It shows how much warmer or cooler different regions of Earth were compared to the baseline average from 1951 to 1980. Credit: NASA's Earth Observatory/Lauren Dauphin Summer of 2023 was Earth’s hottest since global records began in 1880, according to scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) in New York. The months of June, July, and August combined were 0.41 degrees Fahrenheit (0.23 degrees Celsius) warmer than any other summer in NASA’s record, and 2.1 degrees F (1.2 C) warmer than the average summer between 1951 and 1980. August alone was 2.2 F (1.2 C) warmer than the average. June through August is considered meteorological summer in the Northern Hemisphere. This new record comes as exceptional heat swept across much of the world, exacerbating deadly wildfires in Canada and Hawaii, and searing h...
