Samoa transport data. Data collected by Mr Herbet Wade, consultant for the SPREP PIGGAREP Project. Data collected in 2012, purpose of project is to collect transport data of all sectors & determine how renewable sources & ultimately technology can be used to offset fuel imports. Record holds several attachments on :
- Samoa Shipping Corporation Ships
- Local aircraft's
Work is part of the SOPAC Regional assitance to the countries on wind advisory.
Dataset regarding 'Seamounts' - peaks that rise over 1,000 m above the seafloor. Seamount chains occur in all three major ocean basins, with the Pacific having the most number and most extensive seamount chains.
Provides principles to support nature conservation in pacific islands
The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is part of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Dataset includes various regional-scale spatial data layers in geojson format.
This first state of the environment report for the Pacific region uses regional environment indicators to assess the status, trends, and data quality and availability for the endorsed Pacific environmental priorities. This report also includes an update of the State of Conservation in Oceania report produced in 2013, which was endorsed and published in 2017.
Maps on Species Richness developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop (Feb 2018). The tool AquaMaps was used to show predictions of relative probabilities of species occurences in a global grid of half-degree latitude and longitude cell dimensions.
Map developed by MACBIO for the bioregions workshop (Feb 2018). The Global Human Impact of Marine Ecosystems Project distributed national total catch values form FAO data into 1 km^2 cells using a spatial model to show intensity of artisanal fishing.
Map developed by MACBIO for the bioregions workshop 2018. Chlorophyl-a concentration is an important proxy which is routinely measured and is considered a "core" parameter of global physical-biological oceanic models.
The map shows the global distribution of habitat suitability for cold water corals found deeper than 50m. The map was compiled by MACBIO for the bioregions workshop 2018.
Map of Coral Species Richness in Solomon Islands EEZ. Grid based dataset that shows the number of coral species that are expected to be found-
This map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop 2017 and shows ocean surface currents based on data from NOAA Ocean Surface Current Analysis (http://www.oscar,noaa.gov/).
The map shows paths and intensities of tropical cyclones in Solomon Islands EEZ from 1980 to 2015.
The map shows the diffuse attenuation coefficient per metre of depth (2002-present). This is an indicator of turbidity in the water column. The map was developed by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
A map that shows domestic shipping routes within Solomon Islands EEZ.
A map showing down-welling eddy frequency in Solomon Islands EEZ. The map was created by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018. Data is based on Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS).
A map of Solomon Islands EEZ showing location and magnitude of historic earthquakes from 1900 to 2008. The map was created as resource for the MACBIO bioregions workshop in Feb 2018.
A map created by MACBIO as resource for the bioregions workshop in Feb 2018, showing Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas (EBSAs), Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) and Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs).
