The tide charts with the moon rise and set times in Chamorro time for Apra Harbor, Guam, were provided by OceanFun Publishing, NZ. The moon phases were calculated using the HM Nautical Almanac (astro.ukho.gov.uk/websurf).

The seasonal fishing pre­dic­tions were provided by the fisher­ men in the commit­tee and consolidated by Jesse Rosario.

The farming information on peak, moder­ate and unavailable times for local fruits and vegetables was provided by Bill McDonald, John Naputi, Jose “Joe” Naputi, Marilyn Salas and Joseph and Marcia Tedtaotao of the Pacific Farmers Cooperative.

This calendar features the first, second, third and fourth place winners of the art contests held on Guam on the theme of “Pumeska yan Gumualo’ Sigon gi Pilan yan Tiempo” (Fishing and Farming to the Cycles of the Moon and Seasons). The contest asked students to draw or paint a poster that illustrates a traditional Pumeska yan Gumualo’ or contemporary fishing or farming acti­vity related to a moon phase, month or season.

This theme encourages the perpetuation of traditional know­ ledge and cultural values and practices through activities that promote sustainable use of natural resources so as to ensure the island’s food and cultural security.
