Ocean ELDER

Oscar Sablan is a lifelong spearfisherman who learned his skills from his family of fishermen
and mariners. When spearfishing he enjoys the freedom of being able to choose his catch, but
makes it a point to take only what he needs and nothing more. He believes it’s important that he
passes on his knowledge so our youth may understand the importance of conserving ocean
resources for future generations: “I now pass the torch as my ancestors did to me.”
