2 About the Council The Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council was established by Congress in 976 through the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) to manage fisheries in offshore waters of the U.S. Pacific Islands. The Council protects 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 6 reauthorized MSA requires that federally managed fisheries are regulated through annual catch limits (ACLs). A publication of the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council pursuant to NOAA Award No. FNANMF447.

Note: ACLs are not specified for most pelagic species because they are subject to international fishing agreements or have life cycles of less than a year and are thus exempted from the ACL requirement.

3 About This Calendar This 4 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, Thomas D. Mendiola, Efrain S. Taimanao, Victorina T. Barcinas and Antonio Ch. Barcinas. The calendar highlights traditional fishing and conservation 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 phases and moon rise and set times are in Chamorro time for Saipan. They were provided by OceanFun Publshing, NZ. The illustrations in the calendar are the winning entries of the student art contest held in the CNMI on the theme of Climate Change and Traditional Places: Rights and Responsibilities. This theme encouraged class lessons and discussion on how climate change has or may impact the traditional places and practices that promote sustainable use of natural resources to ensure the island s food security and the well-being of the indigenous culture. It was chosen in preparation of the 4 First Stewards Symposium United Indigenous Voices Address Sustainability: Climate Change and Traditional Places to be held in Washington, DC ( The first-place Grades 6 8 poster will be displayed at the event. A special thanks to those who judged the art contest: Britta Baechler, NOAA Coral Fellow; Vina Saures, special assistant, CNMI Department of Lands and Natural Resources; Todd Miller, supervisor, CNMI Division of Fish and Wildlife, Fishery Section; Richard Seman, vice chair from CNMI, Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council; and Jack Songsong, director, CNMI Department of Lands and Natural Resources, Survey Division. The calendar was produced by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council. The project coordinators were Sylvia Spalding and Jack Ogumoro, under the leadership of Kitty Simonds, executive director. The Council has produced traditional lunar calendars for CNMI since 7. The intent is to raise public awareness about traditional ecological knowledge and to enhance community involvement in fishery management. These integral parts of the ecosystem-based approach to fishery management are components of the Mariana Archipelago and Pacific Pelagic Fishery Ecosystem Plans (FEPs) for the Western Pacific Region. Developed by the Council and implemented by the National Marine Fisheries Service, these FEPs are designed to conserve and manage fisheries in federal waters surrounding the CNMI.
