The Commonwealth Litter Project (CLiP) supported Solomon Islands to take action on plastics entering the oceans. Currently 80% of marine litter is estimates to be originated on land and Cefas contracted Asia Pacific Waste Consultants to assess the land waste production rates and waste management performances. The sample collection was limited by the ease of collection of samples, the ability to transport samples, as well as the presence and absence of collection systems Commercial premises were divided into four major categories.
Excel spread sheet of waste data for commercial business sector in Buala in 2014.
This is a Chart which illustrates the different types of wastes composed in the household waste stream in Buala in 2014.
Map of predictions of relative probabilities of species occurence in a global grid of half-degree latitude and longitude cell dimensions.
Map of predictions of relative probabilities of benthic marine species occurence in a global grid of half-degree latitude and longitude cell dimensions.
Map of predictions of relative probabilities of pelagic species occurence in a global grid of half-degree latitude and longitude cell dimensions.
Map of artisanal fishing intensity based on data from the global map of human impacts (2008) (https://www.nceas.ucsb.edu/globalmarine2008/impacts).
Map developed by MACBIO for the bioregions workshop 2018. Chlorophyl-a concentration is an important proxy which is routinely measured and is considered a "core" parameter of global physical-biological oceanic models. Map is based on data from NASA's Aqua satellite.
The map contains the global distribution of habitat suitability for seven suborders of cold water octocoral found deeper than 50m. Map is based on data from Yesson et al (2012) Global habitat suitability of cold water Octocorals, Journal of Biogeography 39, 1278-1292.
The map displays the number of coral species that are expected to be found in each grid cell that contains coral reefs as identified by the Millenium Reefs project. The map is based on a spatial data base of geographic range boundaries compiled by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies compi
This map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop 2017 and shows ocean surface currents based on data from NOAA Ocean Surface Current Analysis (http://www.oscar,noaa.gov/).
The map depicts paths and intensities of tropical cyclones in Solomon Islands EEZ from 1980 till 2015. Data of tropical cyclone best track data is provided by IBTrACS (International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship).
The map shows the diffuse attenuation coefficient (Kd490) which is an indicator of the turbidity of the water column. The grid is derived from MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectoradiometer) images from NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites (http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov).
The map shows the domestic shipping routes in Solomon Islands EEZ. Data is based on information from Harbour Master of Ports Authority. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
Eddies are circular shaped or elongated rotating vortices of the sea surface, 300 - 500km wide. They are the oceanic analogy to storms in the atmosphere, and are clearly seen in maps of sea surface anomaly from altimeters. Positive anomaly features indicate the presence of anticyclonic eddies where the sea surface is doming upwards and causing downwelling. For downwelling features, strength and persistence are key determinants of increased primary productivity and thus aggregations of bioty.
