The dolphin hunts in the Solomon Islands are typically conducted between January and April, when the seas are calm. Home to the largest drive slaughter of dolphins in the world, annual kills between the years 1976-2013 averaged 850 dolphins per year. Since Dolphin Project began a full-time campaign in 2015 in Fanalei, Solomon Islands, slaughters have dropped to a four-year average of 247 dolphins.
In most villages, affected families lost on average 1 canoe or less, but from the 40 households in Tapurai predisaster, it was estimated that more than 58 canoes were lost.

Villagers explained that losses of fishing gear were related to the destruction of houses. Fishing gear (lines, goggles, spears etc.) was stored within houses and if a house was washed away by the wave then all gear was lost. An indication of the types of gear that were lost or damaged in the tsunami is given in this data, based on individual interviews with fisher.

he 33 deepwater bioregions for the Solomon Islands were condensed into 26 bioregions. The major changes were made to the northwestern side of the Solomon Islands EEZ; there was general agreement about the deepwater bioregions in the southeastern half of the country. Bioregions 120, 164, 167, 192, 244, and 304 were merged with Bioregion 222. Bioregion 226 was split into two halves, and one part of the non-contiguous Bioregion 240 (the part closer to the islands) was merged with 222.
