About the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council
The Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council was established by
Congress in 1976 and has authority over fisheries in the Pacific Ocean seaward
of Hawai`i, American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands (CNMI) and the US remote island areas. The fisheries in federal
waters surrounding Guam and the CNMI are managed under the Mariana
Archipelago Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) and Pacific Pelagic FEP. Traditional
knowledge along with Western science and wide community involvement are
integral parts of the ecosystem-based approach to fishery management.

About This Calendar
This 2014 Fanha‘aniyan Pulan CHamoru (Chamorro Lunar Calendar) features the
contributions and advice of the Guam Chamorro Lunar Calendar Committee, which was
initiated by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council. The calendar
highlights traditional fishing and conservation practices of the Chamorro people
of the Mariana Islands (Guam and CNMI) and aims to raise public awareness about
ecosystem-based natural resource management as well as climate change.
The tide charts with the moon rise and set times in Chamorro time for Hagåtña, Guam,
were provided by OceanFun Publishing, NZ. The seasonal fishing predictions were
provided by the fishermen in the committee and consolidated by committee member
Jesse Rosario.
This calendar features some of the winning entries from an art contest held on Guam
in 2013 on the theme Tinilaikan Klema yan Inirensian Lugat: Direcho yan Opbligasion
(Climate Change and Traditional Places: Rights and Responsibilities). Teachers were
encouraged to include this contest in their lesson plans. This theme encourages
discussion on how climate change impacts Chamorro culture and traditional places. It
is also one of the subthemes of the 2014 First Stewards Symposium to be held July 2123 in Washington, DC. The first place 6th to 8th grade poster, which graces the cover of
this calendar, will be displayed during the Symposium.
The lunar movement directs the life cycles of the flora and fauna of the land and
ocean and is central to life in the islands. The people of the Marianas have been
resilient due to their cultural practices, which ensured the availability of food through
sound traditional management of natural resources. Traditional knowledge and
cultural practices promote sustainable use of natural resources through rights and
responsibilities as mandated by Chamorro values.
Holistically, Chamoru spiritually believe that the entire Island and its surrounding
environment is sacred, filled with the spirits of our ancestors. That is why our
ancestors show their respect by asking permission to the ancestors before they do
any activity around the home, jungle and ocean. Our ancestors would say “Guela
yan Guelo kao siña yu …” [Ancient elders, may I please …] or “O Saina asi’i yu’”
[O Ancestor, please forgive me for any offensive act I committed in the area or
location] and so forth. For example, our grandparents would not dare litter the
roads, jungle, beaches, river and ocean because of the subconscious belief that
they would anger the ancestors. Today, however, this belief is slowly eroding in
some Chamoru families, and … foreigners … don’t understand our beliefs, and this
is evident as you go around the island and see how much litter and trash defaces
our homeland. It’s apparent that we must re-instill our old belief that every twig,
pebble, rock, tree, plant, water, endemic species, etc. is sacred, the belief that the
spirit of our ancestors is in every element.
—Ed and Jill Benavente
Below are a few of the traditional sayings used to show respect to the ancestors:
Guela yan Guelo, kao siña yu’ maloffan gi tano’-miyu.
Ancient elders, may I please pass through your property.
Guela yan Guelo, kao siña yu’ hu na’setbe i tano’-miyu put para bai hu tinane’.
Ancient elders, may I please use your property for my personal business.
Guela yan Guelo, kao siña yu’ manhokka niyok gi tano’-miyu.
Ancient elders, may I pick coconuts on your property.
In this calendar, each month highlights a Chamorro cultural value, as well as
provides guidance on the types of fish and fishing available during the month.

Hulat Maisa (Self-Control): Work hard to control your thoughts and behavior. While it is easy to just throw your trash on the ground or in the water,
show others that you have respect for our island, our ocean, our people and our culture. Make it a regular practice to reduce, reuse and recycle.
