- Bangladesh Marine Fisheries Academy
Bangladesh Marine Fisheries Academy (BMFA) is the only national profession-oriented government training institution of Bangladesh, established in 1973 to prepare and train those cadets who are willing to make their career in the fishing sector and other related maritime industries.
Introduction
The oceans and seas constitute about 72% of the earth’s surface and exert a profound influence on mankind. From the time immemorial, the seas have been serving as international ways for ships and fishing grounds. The direct promotion of economy by tourism, trade, shipping and recreation is one of the major off set of ocean resources management. In modern times, 90% of the world trade moves by sea route. On other hand, over 90% of the planet’s living and nonliving resources are found within a few hundred kilometers of the coast and nearly 2/3 of world’s population lives on the sea coast. Ocean is a cornucopia of wealth providing fisheries for food, minerals, chemicals, oil, gas and energy. Since the oceans are the repositories of nature’s trove consisting of living and nonliving resources, therefore it has immense potentials for catering to the needs of mankind. Today, the major focus of marine activities tends to lie in mankind’s search for food, energy and scarce mineral resources. Already 15 % of the world’s supply of animal protein comes from fisheries. Bangladesh being a first line littoral state of Indian Ocean is having a very good source of marine resources in Bay of Bengal. Bangladesh is having an exclusive economic zone of convert|41000|sqmi|km2, which is 73% of the country’s land area. On the other hand, Bangladesh being a small and developing country overloaded with almost unbearable pressure of human population. In the past, people of Bangladesh were mostly dependent upon land-based proteins. But, the continuous process of industrialization and urbanization is consuming our limited land area practically everyday. Now there is no other alternative way than to harvest the vast under water protein from Bay of Bengal, which can meet up our demand. Therefore, to explore and exploit the sea resources from convert|41000|sqmi|km2 of Exclusive Economic Zone, Bangladesh required to train personnel for our Fishery Sector which, inspired Government to establish Marine Fisheries Academy (MFA).
Bangladesh Marine Fisheries Academy (BMFA) is the only national profession-oriented Govt. training institution of Bangladesh established in 1973 to prepare and train those cadets who are willing to make their career in the fishing sector and other related maritime industries.
It was established to provide Navigators, Engineers and Processing Technologists in fishing sectors. The Academy embarked upon a training programme for Nautical, Marine Engineering, Marine Fisheries and other courses and recruited its first batch cadets in 1974. The Academy possesses extensive maritime and commercial fishing training facilities and prepares industry-based experts through teaching. Academy has built up an enviable reputation as the provider of excellent trained manpower. The cadet training course offered in BMFA meet the professional needs of industrial fishers and seafarers.
Establishment & Location of Academy
After liberation war of 1971 it was felt that the country lacked skilled manpower for judicious exploitation and harvesting of marine fisheries resources from Bay of Bengal. Thus the call for a national institution to train and educate personnel for Bangladesh maritime fisheries industries began in 1972. The year was also the beginning of a rapid technological change in the deep sea fishing, with the introduction of large and sophisticated deep sea fishing vessels. Government realized that without skilled manpower i.e. qualified officers, growth of an efficient fishing fleet would be impossible. With that end in view Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh on 1st September, 1973 established Marine Fisheries Academy on a beautiful landscape on the southern bank of the river Karnaphully, opposite to Sadarghat, Chittagong. Its geographical position is 22° 19.0' N latitude, 91° 49.8' E longitude, which is about 1 km from the city center. Since its inception Academy is shouldering the responsibilities of exploring and pooling the seafaring talents of the country and training them in well planned and well organized manner as Navigator, Engineer and Fish Processing Technologist. The Academy is capable to produce sufficient trained human resources to meet the requirement of the country’s seafarers and to spare these trained human resources for employment in other countries.
Administrative Control
Academy started its journey as a project of Bangladesh Fisheries Development Corporation (BFDC) and on 20 April 1988 it came under the administrative control of Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock as a project. But on 01 July 1993 the Academy was transferred to revenue budget under the same Ministry. Since then the Academy is functioning under the Administrative control of the Ministry. The functional authority of the Academy is vested on the Principal who has three assisting organs namely Academic Council, Board of Studies and Board of Discipline. The Academy has officers and staffs to carry out the instructional duties as well as administrative functions. To cover up the shortage of permanent instructors the Academy has number of required regular visiting lecturers as well. The Academy is having three departments and an administrative wing.

Training System
The total duration of training of the cadets is three years. Out of that 1st and 2nd year training is conducted in the Academy to cover the theoretical aspects of professional and academic subjects. On completion of each year, they attend year final examination conducted by the National University. In the 3rd year they undergo practical sea training for 24 weeks onboard deep sea fishing vessels and the rest of the 3rd year covers industrial training, practice and ancillary courses. On successful completion of these courses they attend final examination under National University. Thereafter the Marine Fisheries Academy training culminates with the passing out parade and award of graduation certificates.
Dimension of Training
Training in Marine Fisheries Academy has four dimensions. Through out their stay in the academy cadets are trained on four major aspects as shown below: a) Character Building : Development of sound and balanced character, truthfulness, honesty, hard work and dedication to duty and self respect has maximum focus in MFA training. (b) Professional Training : MFA syllabus includes the professional subjects like Maritime Science (Nautical), Ship Board Operations, Maritime Science (Engineering), Engineering Sciences, Marine Science and Post Harvest Technology. (c) Academic Training : MFA teaches the subjects of English, Physics, Mathematics, General Zoology, Bio-Chemistry and Bangladesh Studies. (d) Physical Training : MFA conducts physical training and parade, which contributes to the physical development, in addition it instills qualities like coolness, alertness, courage, self control, concentration, companionship and healthy sense of team sprit in the Cadets. DISCIPLINE
Ability to command the subordinates and carry out orders and superiors with utmost speed, promptness and judgment is of paramount importance for marine officers onboard ship. This can only be expected from those who have developed complete adherence to the norms of discipline, which is essentially regarded as cumulative display of qualities of head and heart, sound training and professional competence. As such, due emphasis is laid on these aspects and the whole training programme and the activities of the Academy are designed to achieve this goal i. e. a high standard of discipline as in the Maritime Academies and similar other training institutions of the world. The Principal of the Academy reserves the right of dismissing any cadet at any time from the course or awarding any other suitable punishment in the event of breaking the rules of discipline of the Academy.
