Especialidades JA/Pesca isleña/Respuestas

1

Nombrar cinco métodos nativos que se utilizan para la pesca en la isla.

2

Desmostrar su capacidad para hacer al menos una clase de artículo de pesca a partir de material nativos utilizados en su área.

The simplistic traditional fishing gear is make is going to be a spear, just a sharpened stick. The sharper the better.

Traps and nets are going to be more impressive and fun options to build. Research what kind of fishing gear is used in your area and how it is made before starting your project.

3

En su entorno cultural, identificar las clases de pesca de acuerdo a las mareas y las fases de la luna.

The position of moon is about 6 times more important than the sun in setting the tides. Other factors include location in relation to the equator and coastal features like depth of water, shape of the coast etc.

The rising and setting of the moon is thought to influence when fish feed and therefore when they are most likely to bite.

To get local information talk to some old time fishermen (every fisherman loves to tell fish stories) and report what you learn to your examiner.

4

Mostrar y etiquetar una colección de cebos, señuelos y anzuelos utilizados tradicionalmente en su área.

While this requirement is vague, in this case your collection should include items you will actually use to complete the practical parts of the Honor. Enjoy learning about and collecting the fishing gear used. Note you do not need to BUY everything to display and label, you may be able to make or borrow some items. Traditional fishing gear is usually fairly easy to make since it is not mass produced but home grown.

5

Participar en un viaje de pesca y capturar dos peces con dos diferentes métodos tradicionales.

Happy fishing, good luck.

6

Hacer lo siguiente:

6a

Coleccionar fotos de 10 peces tropicales e identificar sus nombres locales y su lugar de habitación.

Ten tropical fish photos is not very many. You could collect the photos off the Internet in a few minutes but it will be more fun to go catch the ten types of fish and photograph them. If you do not live in a tropical area you could visit an aquarium or even a large pet store and photograph ten tropical fish types. Display your collection on poster board or electronically in a blog post or using presentation software.

This is going to require research locally and can not be answered generically in this guide.

Comments

While this honor was created in the South Pacific and references tropical fish and island fishing almost every culture has historical or current traditional fishing practices and the honor was designed to be tailored to local practices. You do not need to live on an island to earn the Island Fishing Honor. In North America we suggest focusing on the traditional fishing practices of local North American Native tribes. Applying the requirements this way leaves only the tropical fish photo collection requirement seemingly out of place, but that is easy to complete anywhere due to the availability of fish in aquariums or pet fish.

While not required in the Honor, Pathfinders are encouraged to consider that Jesus called fishermen as disciples, who later became apostles and lead the early church. Jesus said "follow me and I will make you fishers of men." Consider how you too can follow Jesus as a fisher of men (and women and boys and girls) as you learn about fishing.
