A Myanmar Marine Biologist (update: 12 October 2009)   Hi, I am Tint Tun from Myanmar which was previously known as Burma. Myanmar is situated in Southeast Asia. Thailand, China, India and Bangladesh are neighbouring countries. I am Chairman of the newly formed Marine Science Association Myanmar (MSAM). It is a non-profit making and non-governmental organization. All MSAM members are marine science alumni of Mawlamyine University, Pathein University and Myeik University and founders of the Marine Biology Department (now, Marine Science Department) at Mawlamyine University in Myanmar. MSAM is a registered organization at the "EuropeAid". (please visit MSAM page) I was a pearl culture technician, university teacher, pearl oyster biologist and freelance marine biologist. I am also an Executive Committee Member of Myanmar non-governmental and non-profit environmental organization, Biodiversity And Nature Conservation Association (BANCA). At present, I am also working as a project manager of an EC funded environmental project which has been jointly implemented by an Itlay based INGO, ISTITUTO OIKOS, and Myanmar NGO, BANCA in Myanmar since January 2009. Are you also interested in Myanmar marine biodiversity, environment and conservation?
Myanmar
is situated on the east coast of the Bay of Bengal. Myanmar has 1230
miles (2279.42km) coast line. Many
fauna and flora are waiting for us!!! Some mangroves on Myeik
Archipelago in southern Myanmar are prestine and intact forest. Some
researches have been done on fishes, shrimps and seaweeds. But, many
subjects are still in need and study on marine mammals is a
new subject for us. Maybe, we can do some collaborative work in Myanmar
waters.
