[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 Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) carried out a marine survey
for Samoa around the islands of Savai’i and Upolu. The objective was to investigate the
seabed and provide information about water depths around the islands using a Multibeam
echosounder (MBES).
The survey achieved 100% coverage of the seafloor from approximately 50 m depth in the
nearshore area to an average offshore distance of 10 km, reaching water depths of some
1500 m. Coverage was significantly less in some areas such as Apolima Strait.
