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).
