Inclusivity. Diversity. Unity in Community.

Inspired by the Tataga’, the CHamoru name for the Bluespine Unicornfish, a common shallow-water reef fish found in Guam’s waters and highly valued in local artisanal and commercial fisheries. Recognized for the horn-like projection on its forehead, the tataga’ is also known for its important role in maintaining healthy coral reef ecosystems.
