Map showing tuna catch in metric tonnes of small- and large-scale fisheries catches. Data is based on http://SeaAroundUs.org. Additionally a graph of annual fish catch by sector is added.
Map data represents the tuna catch using the "longline" method from 1950-2012. Longline fishing is a commercial fishing technique. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on WCPFC Public Domain Data.
Map showing tuna catch in metric tonnes using the "Pole and Line" method from 1950-2012. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on WCPFC Public Domain Data.
Map showing tuna catch using the "Purse Seine" method from 1950 - 2012. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on WCPFC Public Domain Data.
Map showing the location and maximum wave height of historic tsunamis from 2000 B.C. to the present. Events were gathered from scientific, scholarly sources, regional and worldwide catalogues, tide gauge data, deep ocean sensor data, individual event reports and unpublished works. The map was compiled by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data stems from the Global Historical Tsunami Database.
Map of Tuna Management Zones based on Solomon Islands Tuna Management and Development Plan. Data Baseline is The Delimitation of Marine Waters Act, 1978.
A Map showing vessel traffic within and through Solomon Islands EEZ. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
Data is based on data collected by SPREP using Automatic Identification System (AIS). AIS was designed primarily as a collision avoidance system for large class vessels.

The Forest and land use composition of the Solomon Islands study in 2016, shows 7.77% of the total land area was ‘cropland’. Cropland itself comprises 2176 square kilometres. In 2016 the dominant crop type was mixed subsistence agriculture followed by coconut, mixed crops (including coconut overstory) and palm oil Cocoa and ‘other’ agriculture make up the remaining area under cultivation. Includes pie chart.

This graph shows the profile of languages in Solomon Islands with respect to their status of language development versus language endangerment. Each individual language that has an entry for Solomon Islands is included in the profile. Adapted from https://www.ethnologue.com/profile/SB.
The dolphin hunts in the Solomon Islands are typically conducted between January and April, when the seas are calm. Home to the largest drive slaughter of dolphins in the world, annual kills between the years 1976-2013 averaged 850 dolphins per year. Since Dolphin Project began a full-time campaign in 2015 in Fanalei, Solomon Islands, slaughters have dropped to a four-year average of 247 dolphins.
