If a sea turtle is sighted, the villagers will try to capture it. However, they are afraid of the various sea predators.

| ==Meals==
| |
| *The Nuńwu eat two meals a day. Breakfast ('''yala tane''') is eaten shortly after sunrise ('''savi uńna'''). Supper ('''hole tane''') is eaten just before sunset ('''reva tane'''). These times take full advantage of daylight for work. A mid-day snack ('''wema savi tane'''), usually of fresh fruit or vegetables, may be taken, especially by the children.
| |
| *The Nuńwu eat while seated on the floor around a rush mat on which are placed the various foods of the meal.
| |
| *Dishes are made from wood, stone and bone. Coconut shells are frequently used to make cups/bowls.
| |
| *The only table utensil is the obsidian knife. There is plenty of obsidian ('''rona kaka''') on the islands. Hands are used for every other eating task.
