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.

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/).
