[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 management of coastal areas is of considerable concern for the region. Much if not most of the coastal development under taken today requires higher resolution bathymetry to better characterise the littoral oceanographic processes and hazards to navigation, and with the integration of high resolution imagery to build a seamless geographical information system that encompasses whole island systems provides a fundamental tool for planning and development in a sustainable manner.
Safe and effective ports and harbour facilities is an accepted imperative required for sustainable development. Consequently, a request was made by FSM to carry out bathymetric surveys of its major commercial seaports and navigable waterways.
Also at the 30th SOPAC annual session, FSM raised its concern on the issue of WWII wrecks and the environmental threat posed by leaking bunker oil and other hazardous materials. This intervention being prompted by a recent oil pollution incident in Ulithi Lagoon from the USS Mississenewa. This resulted in reprioritised activities to include the following areas: Chuuk harbour, Yap harbour and Ulithi lagoon in Yap State
