High-resolution bathymetric mapping survey was carried out for Kiribati Islands around Abaiang, Tarawa, Abemama, Banaba and Onotoa. The survey was carried out over a period of six weeks in September and October 2005, resulting in the acquisition of over 900 km of multibeam echo sounder (MBES) data. Resultant data compilation was used to produce bathymetry charts including Abaiang bathymetry chart and is available for download from its appropriate link under Distribution Info.
High-resolution swath mapping, using multibeam echo sounder was used to delineate the seabed morphology around Madang ,Papua New guinea at the maximum depth coverage in the lagoon of 50 m at the entrance around the southern end,near the main harbour.
Vaitupu Island is located at 178 degrees 40'E and 7 degrees 28'S, and displays composite characteristics of atoll and low reef island forms, classified as a part-raised atoll with an enclosed lagoon by Scott and Rotondo (1983). The survey area extended approximately 1.8 km offshore from the coastline. The resultant data from the SOPAC marine survey in 2004 for Tuvalu was used to produce nine bathymetry charts at scales ranging from 1:20 000 to 1:50 000 and the Vaitupu chart is available for download here under the Distribution Info section .
This record holds the bathymetry chart of the Southern foreshore areas of Savaii, Samoa. The chart is the result of the multibeam bathymetry survey that was undertaken by the Applied Geoscience and Technology Division (SOPAC) of SPC around the islands of Upolu and Savai for the EU-SOPAC Samoa Survey. High-resolution bathymetric mapping survey was carried out ,resulting in the acquisition of over 2754 line-km of MBES data for the whole of Samoa Survey.

Niutao Island, located at 6 degrees 6'S and 177 degrees 20'E, is a low reef island comprising a single island approximately 2.7 km long (E-W), 1.3 km wide (N-S). It is surrounded by a fringing reef and has a small central brackish-water pond. The surveyed area extends to an average of approximately 3.5 km from the coastline.
The resultant data from the SOPAC marine survey conducted in 2004 was used to produce nine bathymetry charts for Tuvalu at scales ranging from 1:20 000 to 1:50 000 and the Niutao bathymetry chart is available here for download under the Distribution Info.

Niue occurs within a cluster of seamounts, which may have originated as intraplate volcanoes (Nunn, 2004).This map illustrates new depth compilation for Niue showing the approximate positions of the exclusive economic zones shown as a dashed line, Seamount locations shown as crosses and additional seamounts are listed under new seamount numbers 11-14. This work was initiated by the SOPAC/EU project "Reducing Vulnerability of Pacific ACP States".Points out approximate positions of the exclusive economic zone and Seamount location.
