[pacificdata.org](pacificdata.org) – the Pacific Data Hub – is the central repository of open data and knowledge products about the Pacific region. Anyone can access the public data on the Pacific Data Hub. You are encouraged to search, reuse and share the data on pacificdata.org.
The Pacific Data Hub holds a large and diverse collection of data, data insights, publications, and knowledge products on the Pacific across key sectors, including population statistics, fisheries, geoscience, agriculture, aquaculture, energy, education, human rights, climate change, and oceans, and it continues to grow.
While the intention is for the Pacific Data Hub to become a multi-stakeholder-owned and managed platform, it is currently a product of the Pacific Community (SPC), and as such is governed by SPC’s internal documents.

The survey was carried out over a period of six weeks in September and October 2005, resulting in the acquisition of over 900 km of multibeam echosounder (MBES) data. For Tarawa and Abaiang, the survey achieved 100% coverage of the seafloor from approximately 50 m depth in the nearshore
area to an average offshore distance of 3 km, reaching water depths of some 1 700 m.
This work was initiated by the Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) and the European Union (EU) Reducing Vulnerability of Pacific ACP States
Project.
It is envisaged that data from the survey will be used to support activities in fisheries, mineral exploration, coastal management, and geo-hazard studies.
