The Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council has produced traditional lunar calendars for Guam since 2007. The intent is to raise awareness about traditional ecological knowledge and enhance community involvement in fishery management.
The 2021 Fanha'aniyan Pulan CHamoru (Chamorro Lunar Calendar) highlights fishing sites, spots and grounds around Guam, comparing historic and current species fished and fishing methods. The lunar months, moon phases, and traditional calendar months are given in Chamorro, the native language of the indigenous people of Guam. The moon phases in this calendar are for Hagåtña 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 Hagåtña and were provided by OceanFun Publishing, NZ.
