sectors, with each sector further divided by the reef into an inner and 

 an outer part. 



Sector 1 



Within lines dravm from the center of the island through the Ponape 

 Harbor channel and Mant Passage. 



Inner Section 



A broad lagoon including the three islands of Param, Langar, and 

 Japutik with their adjoining reefs, it contains a considerable area. 

 The part near the barrier reef is suitable a^ a fishing ground for 

 sea-cucumbers and many reef fishes also occur there„ 



Outer Section 



Includes the northern tip of the island and is a good fishing 

 ground for skipjack and tuna. In the trade wind season the natives 

 of Lbkil I. troll from canoes for skipjack, tuna, and cybiids between 

 the north point and Ponape channel. In the calm season the natives 

 of Greenwich I. fish v.lth pole and line for tuna at the entrance to 

 the channel. Schools of skipjack and tuna often come into the 

 adjacent waters, being especially abundant at dawn, at dusk, and in 

 rainy weather during the calm season. 



Secto r 2 



From Mant Passage to Aru Passage 



Inner Section 



This broad lagoon is a continuation of the first sector, and 

 includes the two islands of Mant and Tapak. Fringing reefs are 

 developed in the vicinity and there are many isolated reefs. There 

 is a winding channel by which one can traveT*se the sector. In the 

 deep places fronting on the channel there is much black lip pearl 

 shell. 



Outer Sfcction 



Scattered schools of tuna and skipjack are seen along the 

 coast from the north tip of the island. Since this sector is on the 

 wiriGward side during the trade wind season, it is rough and the 

 waters near the barrier reef are generally unsuitable as fishing 

 grounds.
