Areas
Tarita Holm discusses the different environmental and usage zones that are found in Palau and in Airai State in particular, with their names and uses.

Winds
Palauans divide the year into two seasons based on the changing of the winds. These seasons are further connected with changes in the tides, and with fruiting and spawning seasons upland and in the sea.

Rains
