The PA map of the Solomon Islands showing updated on April 22 2022
The Pacific Network for Environmental Assessment (PNEA) Portal is an initiative of the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) to support government officials from Pacific Island countries and territories who work with environmental impact assessment (EIA), strategic environmental assessment (SEA) as well as Environmental and Social Safeguards (ESS).
The portal complements SPREP’s current capacity building program for EIA and SEA - including the recently launched Regional EIA Guidelines, the Coastal Tourism EIA guidelines, and SEA guidelines.
End of SPREP internship presentation, July 2015. Sections: climate finance challenges, overview of climate finance in the Pacific, and next steps.
A map showing simply the location of seamounts in Solomon Islands EEZ. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the workshop on bioregions in Fab 2018. Data is based on Yesson et al. (2011) "The global distribution of seamounts based on 30-second bathymetry data and Harris et al. (2014) "Geomorphology of the oceans".
Map developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Nitrate is an essential resource, which, together with available light, determines the amount of organic matter that can be synthesized by phytoplankton through photosynthesis. Nitrate concentration is also a key variable of biogeochemical and ecosystem models. Data is based on CSIRO Atlas of Regional Seas (CARS).
Dissolved oxygen is a key parameter to trace physical dynamics and to better understand biogeochemical processes in the World Oceans. O2 concentration is always the balance between biological terms (production by phytoplankton, consumption through respiration by all organisms) and ocean atmosphere o2 exchanges (so-called ventilation processes).
The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on Tyberghein L., et al (2011) Bio-ORACLE: a global environmental dataset for marine species distribution modelling.
The full global assessment can be downloaded from the GCRMN website.

All living organisms require the nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus for their growth, metabolism and reproduction. Research has demonstrated that phytoplankton productivity in the surface ocean is often limited by the amount of available fixed inorganic nitrogen and available phosphorus.
The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is pased on CSIRO Atlas of Regional Seas (CARS).
Map of particulate Inorganic carbon in Solomon Islands Oceans. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data on inorganic carbon is based on CSIRO: Lutz et al 2009.
Map of distribution of particulate organic carbon that represents the concentration of carbon in the ocean.
The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Carbon data is based on CSIRO: Lutz et al 2009.

Particulate organic carbon flux represents the rate at which carbon is cycled through the ocean and the factors that may alter the rates of transfer.
The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on CSIOR: Lutz et al. 2009.
Map of silicate concentration of Solomon Islands Ocean. Silicate, or silicic acid (H4SiO4) is an important nutrient in the ocean. Silicate is an essential chemical requirement for very specific biota, inlcuding diatoms, radiolaria, silicoflagellates and siliceous sponges.
The map was developed my MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
Data is based on CSIRO Atlas of Regional Seas (CARS).
