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.

High-resolution swath mapping, using multibeam echo sounder was used to delineate the seabed morphology around Vanimo.
The wave and current regime inside Vanimo harbour was also instigated by deploying acoustic Doppler current meters profilers
The resultant data was used to produce bathymetry charts and the Vanimo Bathymetry chart is available for download from its appropriate link under Distribution Info.
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 Tarawa bathymetry chart and 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 the North Eastern foreshore areas of Upolu, Samoa.
This record holds the bathymetry chart of West Upolu, 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.
A high resolution bathymetry mapping survey of the seabed surrounding of the Aitutaki Island in the Cook Islands was conducted 2008 by Geoscience Division of SPC under the (EU)European Union's Project EU-EDF 9 on Reducing Vulnerability of Pacific ACP States Project.

Nukulaelae atoll is located at 179 degrees 50'E and 9 degrees 23'S, with dimensions of 10.8 km along the NW-SE axis and 4.7 km along the narrow SW-NE axis. The atoll is characterised by a large central lagoon with some 20 vegetated islands predominantly on the eastern side of the atoll.
The resultant data from the SOPAC marine survey carried out for Tuvalu in 2004 was used to produce nine bathymetry charts, at scales ranging from 1:20 000 to 1:50 000 and the Nukulaelae Chart is available here for download under Distribution Info.
