This report presents a set of indicators, referred to as the 'core' set. for reporting on the state of the environment across Commonwealth and State and Territory jurisdictions. The core indicators have been developed by the Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC) through an extensive consultation process involving both government agencies and the general public.
As of 1969, the scientific community had no general information on the natural history of Namoluk Atoll in the Eastern Caroline Islands of Micronesia. The only significant published source for the atoll was an ethnographic and linguistic account provided by the German physician.
Most of the 96 national monuments designated under U.S. law
are on land. The majority are managed by the National Park
Service, though some are administered by the Bureau of Land
Management and other agencies. At this point neither the
name of the proposed Mariana Trench Marine National Monu-
ment (MTMNM) nor the management structure has been de-
termined. For guidance one could review the process of the
recently designated Papahanaumokuakea Marine National
Monument (PMNM), which is placed within the purview of the
Climate change is real and Asia is already experiencing its adverse impacts. Projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggest that such impacts will become even more intense in the future. While the contribution of developing countries in Asia to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is increasing rapidly, per capita emissions are still low and developmental challenges remain significant.
Bioenergy occupies a unique position at the nexus of energy, environment, climate change and rural development agendas. Consequently, bioenergy and biofuels in particular, have seen
record levels of support in the form of subsidies, mandates and investments as governments seek to maximize the perceived synergies between the various opportunities offered by bioenergy. Whilst it is true that well- planned bioenergy development can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from a range of sources, increase rural incomes, reduce waste, improve access

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.
Map developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on CSIRO Atlas of Regional Seas (CARS).
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.
