The Bay of Bengal holds the future of the Blue Economy, yet there are obstacles to overcome. Bangladesh, which is part of the Indian Ocean Rim countries, is in the earliest stage of development of the Blue Economy.
From natural capital [V[OLILULÄ[Z
In a general sense, the living and non-living resources of land, sea, air and water (in all forms) are the natural capital of our country and can be termed as environmental assets. These drivers create an impact on biotic interactions, biophysical structures, functional properties, ecological processes, genetic diversity, species richness of the natural capital changing ecosystem services that PUÅ\LUJL[OLZ[H[LVMO\THU^LSSILPUN/V^L]LYO \ THU^LSSILPUN can be protected through the balanced use of ecosystem and THUHNLTLU[HZKLWPJ[LKPU[OLÄN\YL(S[OV\NO[OLZVJPL[`H[. Natural capital is the composition of ecosystem assets consisting of both living and non-living components of nature, such as animals, plants, water and minerals.
Essential natural capital must be conserved to ensure that ecosystem services continue to support human well-being and life on earth.

The partnership's objectives complement both the cloud-based maritime simulation initiative supported by Innovation Norway – which aims to meet the global need for easily accessible, high-quality, simulation-based training solutions for teaching and practicing navigation – and the COAST (Center of Excellence in Maritime Simulator Training and Assessment) project, for which USN is the host institution. The university subsequently secured a grant from the Maritime Research and Innovation UK (MarRI-UK) initiative to develop it as an industry-ready solution that will ensure crucial cargo continues to reach British shores.

Impacts of pandemic on supply chain
When a crisis strikes, one must proactively strengthen the supply chain to continue meeting customer/customer demands. The business faces loss because most of the companies do not have any structured supply chain system backed with contingency plans. Nevertheless, all companies will need to work on risk mitigation (long term) to reduce supply chain disruptions in the near future.
Regardless of the response or timeline, most companies recognize the need to replace the slow, one-size-fits-all approaches of the past with a simultaneous planning approach that enables the entire supply chain to respond nimbly to unpredictable challenges.

Many organizations around the world would not be able to save their businesses solely through good supply chain management. Regardless of the size of the organization, every organization must have a crisis management policy, a sustainable supply chain strategy to support the crisis management policy and a damage control team.
Do you believe that many organizations have failed due to lack of crisis management team and proper supply chain network.

He stressed that the Second IORA Action Plan should be results-oriented, action-oriented, comprehensive, comprehensive and aligned with the objectives of IORA. Discussions were held on IORA's Strategic Vision and member states were also asked to agree on the proposed format and structure of the new IORA Action Plan.

According with Nasrul Hamid, Minister of State for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, Bangladesh is generating 730.62 MW of renewable electricity by installing 5.8 million solar home systems across the country as part of the global green and clean energy campaign.
He said entrepreneurs in the private sector, encouraged by the government's steps and incentives to expand renewable energy in the country, were installing solar home systems and rooftop solar panels.

Shrimp culture in Bangladesh experienced a rapid expansion between 1970 and 1990, mostly in lands surrounded by polders from the sea, also known as ghers in the local language.

The government of Bangladesh has decided to implement the concept of the blue economy across various policies. Some of the activities that are part of the implementation of this concept are the exploration of marine resources and their proper use, providing people with the tools needed to facilitate activities in the ocean, and also protecting the ocean environment. The government of Bangladesh already has plans underway to apply the Blue Economy concept to the country's ocean economy. The government can observe how MSP has been implemented in the EU so that the development goals of the country that are already in place will be in line with the development plans regarding the Blue Economy. It encompasses about 32 percent of the total area and about people in the 19 coastal districts named Barguna, Bagerhat, Bhola, Barishal, Chattogram, Chandpur, Feni, Cox's Bazar, Jashore, Gopalganj, Khulna, Jhalkati, Narail, Lakshmipur, Patuakhali, Noakhali. , Satkhira, Pirojpur and Shariatpur (Figure 1). The maritime region covered 47,150 square kilometers. The maritime region is considered one of the most complex areas to be managed and analyzed by a traditional planning system. Recently, GIS and RS techniques are more frequently used to collect and analyze water quality and physical features in the coastal zone and marine region. GIS and RS data can be categorized into global, regional and local scale data. Marine region research can certainly be improved and updated using GIS and RS. GIS and RS represent the latest weapon in the arsenal of tools to solve the problem of spatial data processing. It is not said that a GIS and RS approach would promote intensive collaboration between scientists, planners, engineers, policy experts, oceanographers and coastal zone managers. And GIS and RS are educational and research tools with serious potential to improve better land use decision-making at national and local levels in the maritime region.The future prospect of
