Fishermen's Day is listed as a public holiday in Marshall Islands.
A day for workshops, repairs, craft tables, garages, sheds, studios, and the satisfaction of making something work.
The day honoring the fishermen of the Marshall Islands, and the celebration includes fishing competitions, the weighing of the biggest catch, and the traditional meal of raw fish (sashimi) with coconut cream. The Marshall Islands is a nation of fishermen, and the ocean is the source of food, income, and identity. The fishermen use the traditional Marshallese navigation stick chart (the rebbelib), which is a map of the ocean swells, currents, and islands. The stick charts are made from palm ribs and shells, and they are one of the most unique navigation tools in the world. The fishing competition on Fishermen's Day is fierce: teams compete for the heaviest tuna, the longest wahoo, and the most creative preparation. The highlight is the sashimi feast, where the catch is sliced thin and served with coconut cream, lime, and soy sauce.
A day for remembering the bag before leaving, then remembering what was supposed to go in it.
A day for reminders, photos, jokes, plans, corrections, and the tiny negotiations that keep families coordinated.
You encounter the pampas where guanacos, rheas, and jaguars roam across Argentina's vast landscapes. You find that Argentine households most commonly keep dogs, cats, and guinea pigs as cherished pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
