Friends of Maritime Aviation(FOMA) is an advocacy group whose objective is to promote public awareness of Maritime Aviation requirements and the critical role Maritime Aviation plays in meeting Canada's domestic, foreign policy and international security commitments.

The FOMA logo depicts an Osprey, an indigenous coastal raptor, watchfully winging over three waves representative of Canada's three oceans. The Osprey best represents the search and strike at sea role of most maritime air organizations.

Articles and opinions on maritime aviation issues can be found on the Naval Officers Association of Canada Home Page under Friends of Maritime Aviation and in the Maritime Affairs Journal. Further information can be obtained by e-mail to Colonel(Ret'd) Lee Myrhaugen, FOMA Coordinator or at Tel: (902)826-1919; Fax (902)826-1915.
