Solomon Islands, Ghizo, Bathymetry Chart, 1 :25 000 #1

This record holds the bathymetry chart of Ghizo Island of the Western Province in the Solomon Islands . High-resolution bathymetric mapping survey was conducted for the seabed surrounding the island of Ghizo to collect data. The survey was carried out over a period of six weeks in June and July 2005, resulting in the acquisition of over 1 535 km of multibeam echosounder (MBES) data. The resultant data was used to produce bathymetry charts of Ghizo at 1:25 000.
This work was initiated by the SOPAC/EU Reducing Vulnerability of Pacific ACP States Project (Task no.: NR 1.1.1).
Bathymetry chart can be downloaded from the appropriate link under Distribution Info with appropriate permission from the Secretariat.To investigate the seabed and provide information about the near shore water depths around the islands using multibeam echosounders (MBES).Area covered by MBES was up to 2 km off the barrier reef with shallow water coverage inside the reef system and maximum depth coverage of 500m.
