On July 29, the two-day Wokisok Shark Calling Festival began at Kono village, New Ireland, Papua New Guinea... it's a seasonal rite where fishers paddle out from shore and summon sharks with noise and motion makers... It's supposed to ensure shark harvests for peoples who depend in part on this source of protein. It's actually one of many such ceremonies that take place in this area of the Pacific.
