Map showing the radiation available for photosynthesis at the ocean surface in Einstein m-2 d-1. the map was developed as resource by MACBIO for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
Data is based on NASA-MODIS Aqua data.
Map with 1-degree resolution of observations of marine pollution incidents. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on SPREP: SPC/FFA Regional Observer Programme.
Map showing reefs at risk in Solomon Islands EEZ. Risk categories: low, medium, high and very high. Data: Reefs at Risk Revisited (2011), World Resource Institute. The Reefs at Risk project assesses the status of and threats to the world's coral reefs from a wide range of human activities including coastal development, overfishing, and pollution.
The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
Map showing the location of submarine cables transversing Solomon Islands EEZ. Data is based on http://www.cablemap.info. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
Map showing the location of Turtle tag stations and migration routes. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on SPREP's Turtle Research and Monitoring Database System (TREDS). TREDS provides invaluable information for Pacific Islands countries and territories to manage their turtle resources.
Map showing tuna catch in metric tonnes of small- and large-scale fisheries catches. Data is based on http://SeaAroundUs.org. Additionally a graph of annual fish catch by sector is added.
Map data represents the tuna catch using the "longline" method from 1950-2012. Longline fishing is a commercial fishing technique. 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 tuna catch in metric tonnes using the "Pole and Line" 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 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.
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.

GEBCO’s gridded bathymetric data set, the GEBCO_2020 grid, is a global terrain model for ocean and land at 15 arc-second intervals. It is accompanied by a Type Identifier (TID) Grid that gives information on the types of source data that the GEBCO_2020 Grid is based.
If the data sets are used in a presentation or publication then we ask that you acknowledge the source.This should be of the form: GEBCO Compilation Group (2020) GEBCO 2020 Grid (doi:10.5285/a29c5465-b138-234d-e053-6c86abc040b9)
Raster data representing the mean levels of chlorophyll in mg/m3 for the surface water layer. The data are available for global-scale applications at a spatial resolution of 5 arcmin (approximately 9.2 km at the equator).
Marine data layers for present conditions were produced with climate data describing monthly averages for the period 2000–2014, obtained from pre-processed global ocean re-analyses combining satellite and in situ observations at regular two- and three-dimensional spatial grids.
