Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
Maritime University, Bangladesh

About: Dr. Mustafiz has joined BSMR Maritime University in May, 2019 as an Assistant Professor at the Dept. Of Oceanography and Hydrography, Faculty of Earth and Ocean Science. He is a coastal oceanographer and his research focus on understanding the interactions of the coastal organisms to their dynamic habitats. He is conducting a research project 'Fisheries diversity and environmental variables in waterways of the eastern mangrove forest (Sundarbans), Bangladesh' funded by University Grants Commission (UGC), Ministry of Education, Bangladesh.
