The Gulf of Maine Association (GOMA)<\/strong>, a United States 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization, manages day-to-day contractual and fiscal operations in support of Council initiatives. GOMA supports the Council programs and projects by raising funds, approving budgets and overseeing compliance with all grants and contributions.

GOMA also provides fiscal agent services to organizations that have a similar mission to that of the Council. Currently they provide this service for the Regional Association for Research on the Gulf of Maine.<\/p>\n The Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment set up two Associations to provide contractual and fiscal management in support of the Council\u2019s activities.
