- Fisheries Management Division – Ensures the fisheries that NORMA is responsible for are managed sustainably and to the benefit of FSM through access agreement negotiations, licensing and permits, and administering the Vessel Day Scheme.
- Fisheries Science Division – Manages NORMA’s scientific needs and obligations, including the management of the FSM National Observer Program.
