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).

SOPAC conducted a high-resolution bathymetric mapping survey of the seabed surrounding the islands of Gizo, Honiara, Marovo and Noro in the Solomon Islands. 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 Gizo at 1:25 000, Honiara at 1:75 000, Marovo at 1:50 000, and Noro at 1:25 000. The Honiara bathymetry Chart is available for download from its appropriate link under Distribution Info.
