A map showing the frontal index in Solomon Islands EEZ. The map was created by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on CSIRO Atlas of regional seas (CARS).
A front is a boundary between two distinct water masses that move in different directions.
This map was created by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. The map represents the number of times a front has been detected in Sea Surface Temperature. Data is based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS).
Maps showing geomorphic features. The maps were developed by MACBIO as resources for the bioregions workshops in Feb 2018.
Several maps showing a number of different chemical properties of the ocean, like nitrate concentration, oxygen concentration, ph, phosphate concentration, inorganic carbon concentration, Particulate organic carbon concentration, silicate concentration, surface temperature, radiation availability, mixed layer depth, phytoplankton concentration, available radiation and productivitiy.
These maps were developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
Map of marine pollution incidents by fisheries observer. Resolution 1 degree grid. Resource Map developed by MACBIO for bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
Map showing reefs at risk in Solomon Islands EEZ. Map developed as resource by MACBIO for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
Map showing the location of submarine cables traversing Solomon Islands EEZ. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
Map showing the location of Turtle tag stations and migration routes. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on SPREP's Turtle Research and Monitoring Database System (TREDS).
Maps showing different aspects of tuna catch data within Solomon Islands EEZ. Maps were developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
Map showing location and wave height of historic Tsunami events from 2000B.C. to the present. The map was compiled by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on National Geophysical Data Center, NOAA.
Map showing Tuna Management Zones of Solomon Islands EEZ. Data is based on Solomon Islands Tuna Management and Development Plan. The map was created by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
A map depicting vessel traffic in Solomon Islands EEZ. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
A map showing the pressure and competing claims on the marine environment of Solomon Islands caused by different uses.
The map was developed by MACBIO to visualise the competition on marine resources.
Material compiled by MACBIO on Marine ecosystem service valuation (MESV) in general and on MESV performed for Solomon Islands in 2015.
Marine ecosystem service valuation refers to the process of quantifying the human benefits of marine ecosystems in monetary units. Economic value is typically calculated as the gross value of an activity or product, minus costs, such as the cost of boats, nets, and wages for a fishing fleet.
FSPI CCP program has recognized the need of applied research and capacity building to support community based activities. FSPI has been researching the development of low-tech coral reef restoration techniques as a viable management tool for local communities. FSPI, through its affiliates, PCDF and Solomon Island Development Trust, have conducted coral reef restoration
The GEF and UNCCD Secretariats collaborated on this new book to convey how sustainable land management (SLM) practices are helping shape a sustainable future for people and the planet. The book is illustrated with high quality photos donated by the GoodPlanet Foundation and from other sources, to demonstrate how human ingenuity is largely driving innovations in soil, land, water, and vegetation management.

Status of coral reefs in the Polynesia Mana node is predominantly healthy. There are 6733 km2 of reefs scattered over 347 islands. Most (90%) are healthy, 5% have been destroyed or are at a critical stage and 5% are under threat;Reefs have been degraded around populated areas of Rarotonga (Cook Islands), Tahiti and Moorea (French Polynesia) and South Tarawa (Kiribati);Coral reefs support the livelihoods of Polynesian populations through subsistence fishing in all countries and through tourism and black pearl industries in French
This report has been prepared at the request of the Government of Nauru to provide advice and instruction for the establishment of a National Meteorological and Hydrological Service (NMHS) in this country.
A National Meteorological and Hydrological Service is to be established in Nauru to provide scientific and technical advice to the government and people of Nauru. Nauru is the only independent country or self-governing territory within the membership of the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) not to have an established NMHS.

The shorefishes of Ouvea, an isolated atoll in the Loyalty Islands group of New Caledonia, had not been surveyed prior to 1990. An extensive survey was conducted by ORSTOM between 1991 and 1992 to obtain baseline information on the shorefishes. A
total of 653 taxa among 72 families are now documented from this area. The most diverse families are the Labridae (69 species), Pomacentridae (58 species), Gobiidae (54 spccies),Serranidae (39 species), Chaetodontidae (31 species) and Apogonidae (28
