To mitigate the gaps in the national maritime domain, a need was felt to establish an informal yet professional research and outreach body to focus on the above aspects titled “Marine Echo”. The envisioned body named as “Maritime Study Forum (MSF)”, is established as an informal, independent, and non-partisan research institute dedicated to studying the emerging role of maritime in international relations, focusing on the Indian Ocean and beyond, and on issues having direct/indirect influence or significance for Pakistan. MSF is dedicated to generating meaningful dialogue, cutting edge research, and human development through engaging academia, media, civil society, policy practitioners, and opinion makers for the advancement of Pakistan’s maritime interests. MSF envisions itself as a leading platform for stakeholders in generating policy-oriented discourse on national, regional, and global maritime affairs domains
