According to RCO News Agency, citing the National Research Institute of Oceanography and Atmospheric Sciences, Morteza Tavakoli stated that the nature of marine activities requires research and operations to measure various indicators in the sea, and he said: conducting marine research in the seas of the south and north of the country is a very important thing. Expensive and with regard to its mission, the research institute responds to national and international needs in the field of oceanography and atmospheric sciences by carrying out programs in the field of research, technology, education, promotion of marine sciences, research policy and scientific services.
He added: This research institute as a scientific field of development Sea-oriented According to his mission, he has tried as much as he can to obtain the axes that illuminate the horizon of the program.
Tavakli stated: Development sea-oriented and the economy Sea base It is a cross-sectional topic and various devices are involved to implement its parts. If 10 to 20 percent of the power of the relevant institutions to advance the development plans Sea-oriented Under a common and single set of goals, the possibility of obtaining and accessing concrete results becomes easier.
He further stated: What can be considered as a basic gap in this area is the lack of a trans-sectoral ocean and sea organization that can help unify policies, prevent duplication and Targeting common Based on The program will help. As emphasized by the Supreme Leader, the economy sector Sea-oriented The economic growth capacity is twice the capacity of the dry economy.

The necessity of allocating sufficient funds for research missions
Tavakli said: The National Research Institute of Oceanography and Atmospheric Sciences receives a large amount of funding. Therefore, there is no organizational maneuvering power, and it is difficult to justify the responsible institutions for receiving research expenses related to the missions of the research institute, and only current expenses are considered as budget.
He described the capabilities of the research center as high and added: “At the beginning of this year, we did a survey at a depth of 2,120 meters, which only 14 countries in the world have this capability. This ability is very vital; Because we made the desired device in the country and gained the experience and special knowledge of it.
The head of the National Research Institute of Oceanography and Atmospheric Sciences said: This research center Based on The demand of other devices can supply and grow its capability. There is the ability to use experts from the research institute and outside the research institute Based on Let’s do a collective work and help in capacity building. Also, in the field of underwater robots (ROV), we can have important actions, but we need support.
