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:

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.
