Map showing tuna catch using the "Purse Seine" method from 1950 - 2012. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on WCPFC Public Domain Data.
Map showing the location and maximum wave height of historic tsunamis from 2000 B.C. to the present. Events were gathered from scientific, scholarly sources, regional and worldwide catalogues, tide gauge data, deep ocean sensor data, individual event reports and unpublished works. The map was compiled by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data stems from the Global Historical Tsunami Database.
Map of Tuna Management Zones based on Solomon Islands Tuna Management and Development Plan. Data Baseline is The Delimitation of Marine Waters Act, 1978.

The Forest and land use composition of the Solomon Islands study in 2016, shows 7.77% of the total land area was ‘cropland’. Cropland itself comprises 2176 square kilometres. In 2016 the dominant crop type was mixed subsistence agriculture followed by coconut, mixed crops (including coconut overstory) and palm oil Cocoa and ‘other’ agriculture make up the remaining area under cultivation.
