"This 2019 Eskaleran Pulan Chamorro/2019 Refaluwasch Pápáál Maram highlights traditional fishing practices of the Chamorro and Refaluwasch, the indigenous people of the Mariana Archipelago. Chamorro and Refluwasch, along with English, are the official languages of the CNMI. The calendar provides traditonal fishing information for a different species each month, highlighting methods, gears, seasons and legends. The Chamorro names for the fish species, lunar months and moon phases are in black, and the Refaluwasch names are in green. The calendar reflects continued work with the CNMI community to creat a calendar that recognizes the importance of island cultures and traditional fishing practices in managing fishery resources and to foster opportunities for their participation, which is one of the council's seven Guiding Principles. The moon phases in this calendar are for Saipan as calculated by the HM Nautical Almanac (astro.ukho.gov.uk/websurf). The tide charts with moon rise and set times are in Chamorro time for Saipan and were provided by OceanFun Publihsing, NZ "--Page [2] of cover.
