Second Official Update and Media Release of the Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha’apai Volcanic Eruption.
Damage assessment as detected from a Pleiades image acquired on 18 January 2022 in Nomuka Island (Mu'omu'a district, Tonga).
260 structures identified, 52 structures were identified as damaged and/or destroyed, 13 as potentially flooded and almost all structures were covered with ash. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field
The NDS focuses on two key areas; social and economic livelihoods, hence its National Vision “**Improving the Social and Economic Livelihoods of all Solomon Islanders”.**
This is an example map from the Solomon Islands Marine Atlas. A series of maps from the Marine Atlas are uploaded as separate datasets to this portal. Use the search box or filter by the keyword/tag "maps".
Technical report of survey conducted May 13 to June 17, 2004.
The outputs of these activities would inform MECDM’s outcomes under the MESCAL-SI project in the development of:
1. Mangrove management policies, plans and legislation at national and provincial levels;
2. National, provincial and local level advocacy material and capacity in mangrove co-management.
he 33 deepwater bioregions for the Solomon Islands were condensed into 26 bioregions. The major changes were made to the northwestern side of the Solomon Islands EEZ; there was general agreement about the deepwater bioregions in the southeastern half of the country. Bioregions 120, 164, 167, 192, 244, and 304 were merged with Bioregion 222. Bioregion 226 was split into two halves, and one part of the non-contiguous Bioregion 240 (the part closer to the islands) was merged with 222.
The resulting marine bioregions of the Solomon Islands as stated in this report will provide a biological and environmental basis for the nation’s MSP process. Specifically, it allows for the identification of candidate sites for an ecologically-representative system of MPAs in the country.

The Commonwealth Litter Project (CLiP) supported Solomon Islands to take action on plastics entering the oceans. Currently 80% of marine litter is estimates to be originated on land and Cefas contracted Asia Pacific Waste Consultants to assess the land waste production rates and waste management performances. The sample collection was limited by the ease of collection of samples, the ability to transport samples, as well as the presence and absence of collection systems Commercial premises were divided into four major categories.
