He further added: All maritime countries are interested in participating in Antarctica. Iran is not an exception to this rule and should be present in Antarctica as soon as possible and do scientific and research work.
The president’s representative said about the impact of the tsunami in the Makran coast region: According to the report of this event, in the development of the Makran coast, more care and a scientific approach should be taken into account in the placement of facilities, facilities and people’s accommodation.

The capacity of the Oceanographic Research Institute in data collection
Abdul Alizadeh further pointed to the basic capacities and fundamental duties of the research institute in terms of exploration, collection and data processing and said: Maritime bodies and organizations should use the research institute’s marine data, which are national capital, very important and valuable. be more active and the data from research and studies shared be used in decisions and studies.
The president’s representative called for the identification of research and technology networks in the sea area and said: some associations and private companies can better and more easily cooperate with research institutes within this network.
He expressed his hope that with the implementation of sea-oriented development and its structure, information can be concentrated and distributed to everyone, and people’s access to this information can be done faster and better.
He added: “In the government of doctors, we have decided to think more scientifically and fundamentally and do work and give value to the data and not do anything before the generalities of the matter and expert opinions are clarified.” We use the same procedure in the field of sea-oriented development.

The head of the Research Institute of Oceanography and Atmospheric Sciences called the development of Makran coasts vital for the country and said: With the support of the Makran Development Headquarters, the research institute can provide valuable research, scientific and field activities in the Makran Basin.
Furthermore, while pointing out the presence of 54 countries in Antarctica on a temporary and permanent basis, he called the research and presence of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Antarctica necessary and emphasized on Iran’s scientific presence in Antarctica as soon as possible.

Necessity of revising Makran development document
Regarding the Makran coast development plan, he pointed out the importance of the issue of tsunami impact for the region, and the head of the Marine Risk Prediction and Warning Center of the Research Institute also presented a report on the “tsunami” and the background of this phenomenon in the Makran coast and said: Tsunami phenomenon In 1945, an earthquake occurred on the shores of Makran in Chabahar region, during which it caused numerous financial and human losses.
The head of the National Research Institute of Oceanography and Atmospheric Sciences continued his speech in the debates about sea-oriented development and said: We currently have a document called the Makran Development Document, which is mostly land-oriented and is not a guide. It seems that this document should also be revised and documents that lack field insight and social cultural compatibility with the region should not be used as criteria for action.
