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.

The surveyed area extends from the coast to approximately 10 km offshore. Water depths within the surveyed area ranged from 10 to 1500 m offshore and between 0 to 7 m within the lagoon.
The Marshall Islands, officially the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), is a Micronesian island nation in the western Pacific Ocean, located north of Nauru and Kiribati, east of the Federated States of Micronesia and south of the U.S. territory of Wake Island, to which it lays claim. The datasets describe the Multi beam bathymetry survey and a high-resolution bathymetric mapping of the seabed in the Majuro lagoon and some parts of the seabed around the atoll.
This chart was compiled from high-resolution bathymetry mapping survey of the seabed surrounding the island of Niue was used to produce bathymetry charts of Niue at a scale of 1:50 000, and a more detailed chart of Alofi Bay at a scale of 1:10 000.
This record holds the bathymetry chart of Ghizo Island of the Western Province in the Solomon Islands . High-resolution bathymetric mapping survey was conducted for the seabed surrounding the island of Ghizo to collect data. The survey was carried out over a period of six weeks in June and July 2005, resulting in the acquisition of over 1 535 km of multibeam echosounder (MBES) data. The resultant data was used to produce bathymetry charts of Ghizo at 1:25 000.
This work was initiated by the SOPAC/EU Reducing Vulnerability of Pacific ACP States Project (Task no.: NR 1.1.1).
The Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission, SOPAC, carried out a marine survey for south coast of Viti Levu, Fiji, from Nasalei (Suva) to Momi (Nadi) from 03/05/03 to 01/07/03. The object was to investigate the seabed and provide information about water depths around the islands using a Multibeam echosounder (MBES).
High-resolution swath mapping, using multibeam echo sounder was used to delineate the seabed morphology around Sissano.The resultant data was used to produce bathymetry charts and the Sissano Bathymetry chart is available for download from its appropriate link under Distribution Info.
This report provides a technical description of the Tongan marine survey. Where multibeam data was collected for the two islands of Tongatapu and Niuafoou, this data set includes the Basin A area north of Nukualofa and a single beam survey of Tongatapu's Fangauta lagoon, as this was identified as major interest areas during a stakeholder consultation exercise conducted in late 2002 (SOPAC, 2002).SOPAC has implemented a project Reducing Vulnerability of Pacific ACP states with funding secured from the European Union (EDF8).
This record holds the bathymetry chart of seabed around the island of Niuafoou. The chart is the result of the multibeam bathymetry survey that was undertaken by the Applied Geoscience and Technology Division (SOPAC) of SPC over a period of 5 weeks from 31 of January to the 01st of February 2004 in Niuafoou. The surveyed area extends from the coast to approximately 10 km offshore. Water depths within the surveyed area ranged from 10 to 1500 m offshore and between 0 to 7 m within the lagoon.
This record holds the bathymetry chart of the North Savai foreshore areas ,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 South Eastern point 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.
