The University has ongoing institutional engagement in marine science and regional research partnerships that contribute to sustainable use and understanding of marine ecosystems:
- DU has a strategic collaboration with China’s First Institute of Oceanography (FIO) covering joint work on marine disasters, ocean modelling, ecosystem monitoring, ocean forecasting, marine biotechnology, etc.
- Faculty members participated in high-level sessions at the national conference “Ocean Prosperity: Catalyzing Blue Economy in Bangladesh” in 2024, shaping discussions on marine health and sustainable ocean economy.
These activities support marine science capacity and policy dialogue, though they are academic/research-oriented rather than direct community outreach events.
- The Department of Zoology and Dhaka University Nature Conservation Club (DUNCC) hosted Save The Frogs Day 2024 on May 27, 2024, bringing students and conservationists together for ecosystem awareness activities.
- This type of event promotes ecosystem conservation values, though it is focused on amphibians and general biodiversity rather than oceans or marine resources.
