Hafa Adai & Olomwaay CNMI!
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands’ Coastal Resources Management Office Website. CRM provides technical assistance for the planning, management, and monitoring of coastal resources and ensuring their sustainable use and development.
CRM is made up of many branches that deal with issues concerning the CNMI’s coastal resources, which include Permitting, Enforcement, Outreach & Education, Non-Point Source Pollution (NPS), The Coral Reef Program, Natural Resource Planning, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
