This report outlines a baseline assessment of the water quality, sediment quality and aquatic ecology of the Metapona River system downstream of Gold Ridge Mine, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. The assessment was conducted on behalf of the Ministry of Environment, Conservation, Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology in the Solomon Islands Government. This assessment will provide the framework to establish an integrated environmental monitoring program for the Metapona River system.
The Census provides a unique source of detailed demographic, social and economic data relating to the entire population at a single point in time. The most fundamental questions it will answer concern the size and distribution of the entire population, the extent to which men and women participate in the economy, and the nature of housing and household facilities.
The Population and Housing Census 2020 was the 9th census carried out in Palau since 1980. The Population and Housing Census is a vast and complex undertaking. It is certainly the largest statistical exercise we can contemplate, touching, as it does, every individual and household in the Kingdom. The result of the census has an important role in producing official statistics for Palau and providing fundamental information for measuring SDG indicators.

PURSE SEINE fishery data compiled by the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC). The WCPFC have compiled a public domain version of aggregated catch and effort data using operational, aggregate and annual catch estimates data provided by Commission Members (CCMs) and Cooperating Non-members (CNMs).
Data cover 1950 to 2021 and are grouped by 1°x1° latitude/longitude grids, year and month.
The data are described here:

Tuna biomass (skipjack, albacore, yellowfin and bigeye tuna) variability over the period 1979-2010 simulated by the Spatial Ecosystem and Population Dynamics Model (SEAPODYM).
Here, we provide the unfished biomass dynamics (i.e. without considering any fishing). For each of the four tuna species we provide both the total biomass (adults + juveniles) and the larvae abundance.
This product is described in :
Projection of tuna biomass (skipjack, albacore, yellowfin and bigeye tuna) in response to climate change simulated by the Spatial Ecosystem and Population Dynamics Model (SEAPODYM).
Warning: very heavy dataset - loading can take a while, specially for time series.
1/36° model hindcast of the Solomon sea developed as part of the SOSMOD project (SOlomon Sea high résolution MODeling).
Simulations performed by the MEOM group using NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) for the period 1989-2007.
Here we provide temperature and current velocity every 5 days.
The model configuration and results are described in:
Extraction of the operational global wave forecast system of Météo-France with a resolution of 1/12° for the Pacific region.
This product is an extraction of the full model output provided by CMEMS. Only the 10 day forecasts for a portion of the Pacific and for a few variables is provided here.
Below is the product description on the CMEMS website:
Extraction of the operational Hycom global ocean forecast system at 1/12° for the Pacific region. Only surface field of current and temperature are provided.
Extraction of the operational global wave forecast system (AUSWAVE-G) of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) with a resolution of 0.25° for the Pacific region.
This product is an extraction of the full model output provided by BOM. Only the first forecast of the day for a portion of the Pacific and for a few variables is provided here.

The model configuration and results are described in:
Extraction of the Operational Mercator global ocean analysis and forecast system at 1/12° for the Pacific region.
This product is an extraction of the full model output provided by CMEMS. Only the 8 day forecast for a portion of the Pacific, for a few variables, and for a few depths is provided here (0, 47, 110, 222, 541 and 1062 m).
