A Map showing vessel traffic within and through Solomon Islands EEZ. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
Data is based on data collected by SPREP using Automatic Identification System (AIS). AIS was designed primarily as a collision avoidance system for large class vessels.
Map showing the different uses that put pressure on the marine environment. This includes among others vessel tracts, fisheries data, protected and restricted areas. Data sources are:
UNEP/CBD/EBSA/WSPAC/1/2. 2011. Compilation of Scientific Information to Describe EBSAs in the Western South Pacific Region.
KBAs: CEPF
DSM Tenements: Ministry of Lands and Survey, Solomon Islands
Shipping Routes: Solomon Islands Maritime and Ports Authority (SIPA)
Marine Managed Areas: CTAtlas

Overview map of Solomon Islands special, unique marine areas.
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.

Resource contains raster files for a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and derived hillshade for the Solomon Islands.
The ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) Version 3 (ASTGTM) provides a global digital elevation model (DEM) of land areas on Earth at a spatial resolution of 1 arc second (approximately 30 meter horizontal posting at the equator).
This resource contains satellite imagery for the New Georgia Islands in the Solomon Islands. The imagery was collected on September 26, 2019, September 12, 2020, September 25, 2020, October 2, 2020, October 10, 2020, and October 20, 2020.
More specially, this resource contains a raster file of RGB imagery at 10-meter resolution, using Level-2A products when available. Level-2A products include atmospheric correction and represent bottom of atmosphere reflectance values in the images. When Level-2A products were not available, Level-1C (top of atmosphere) products were used.
