Text Box: Welcome to the National Oceanic Resource Management Authority (NORMA) and thank you for joining us.  It is our sincere hope that, through your browsing this website, you will learn more about what we do here at NORMA and how we can best serve you. With an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) as vast as some 900,000 square miles across the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO), we acknowledge the many blessings that come with it in terms of abundant marine resources, particularly tuna.  The tuna resources offers essential resources of both protein and revenue to the people of FSM and the region as a whole.  The FSM tuna fishery ranges from subsistence and artisanal fishing operations to large-scale industrial longline, pole and line and purse seine fishing operations. With such rich resourced EEZ, the FSM is faced with the challenge to manage the resources of such vast spread of ocean and multinational fishing operation.  In that regard, the Authority manages the resources not only at the national but regional and international level.  In this website, you will learn how to assist in developing this promising industry and it will also provide you with information relating to work in which NORMA participates in. The mission of the Authority is to be effective guardian and manager of the living and non-living resources in the 200-miles exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the FSM for people living today and for generations of citizens to come.  We take pride in our work and through this website, you will learn more about what we do to ensure the sustainable management and development of the tuna resources.   I take this opportunity again to thank you for joining us and browsing the Authority's website.  Please feel free to share your thoughts and comments so that we can improve our service to you. Thank you, Kamagar, Kinisou Chapur, Kalahngan, Kulo Mulalap.   Bernard Thoulag Executive Director
