3.1.4. Reef Landscapes above the Water and Traditional Stories

Most of the reef rocks appearing above the water are named after certain events, e.g., someone drowning near the rock. For example, Cionecan near Patekodan is a reef rock that appeared above the water; Onec is the name of someone who drowned near the rock. Onec was greedy and took many baskets to carry the fish, but they were too heavy to bring back to land and Onec drowned there. The name of the landscape is a part of the management system for the marine resources in A'tolan Amis society. This will be further elaborated on in the next section.
