Chamorro Lunar Calendar for - Western Pacific Regional Fishery ...

Eskaleran Pulan Chamorro 2012

About This Calendar
This 2012 Eskaleran Pulan Chamorro (Chamorro Lunar Calendar)
features the contributions and advice of the Commonwealth of
the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Chamorro Lunar Calendar
Committee: Stan Taisacan, Adolfo S. Calvo, Efrain S. Taimanao,
Victorina T. Barcinas and Antonio Ch. Barcinas. The calendar
highlights traditional knowledge and fishing practices of the
Chamorro, the indigenous people of the Mariana Archipelago
(Guam and the CNMI). Chamorro is an official language of the
CNMI along with English and Refaluwasch.
The tide charts with the moon rise and set times are in Chamorro
time for Saipan. They were provided by Barry Smith, retired,
University of Guam’s Marine Laboratory.
The calendar was produced by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery
Management Council. The project coordinator was Sylvia Spalding,
under the leadership of Kitty Simonds, executive director, and in
consultation with Charles Ka‘ai‘ai, indigenous coordinator.
A publication of the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council pursuant
to NOAA Award No. NA11NMF4410270.

About the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council
The Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council was
established by Congress in 1976 and is authorized through the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management
Act to manage fisheries in offshore waters of the U.S. Pacific
Islands. The Council is tasked to protect marine resources while
maintaining opportunities for domestic fishing at sustainable
levels of effort and yield. It promotes environmentally responsible
fishing in the CNMI, Guam, Hawaii, American Samoa and
the U.S. Pacific remote island areas.
The Council has produced traditional lunar calendars for CNMI
and Guam since 2007. The intent is to raise public awareness
about traditional ecological knowledge and to enhance community
involvement in fishery management. Both of these are part
of the ecosystem-based approach to fishery management and
integral components of the Mariana Archipelago and Pacific
Pelagic Fishery Ecosystem Plans for the Western Pacific Region,
developed by the Council and implemented by the National
Marine Fisheries Service.

2012 Art Contest Winners
This calendar features the winning entries from a student art contest held in the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in late 2011. The theme of the
competition, “Climate Change Impacts on the Islands,” focused on how indigenous
knowledge and practices can prepare the community to adapt to and survive
the impacts of climate change. Teachers were encouraged to include this contest
in their lesson plans.
The contest was conducted by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management
Council in preparation for the inaugural First Stewards Symposium on Climate
Change scheduled for July 2012 in Washington, DC.
The art contest judges were Lino Olopai, Cecilio Raiukiulipiy, Marianne Teregeyo,
Jack Songsong and Clay Tam.
