About This Calendar

About the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council

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 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 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 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.

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.

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. DIVISION: Grades K–2 1st Karina Dilse 2nd Clerisse Dacumos 3rd Richard Steele
