In September 1994, a SEAFRAME (Sea Level Fine Resolution Acoustic Measuring Equipment) gauge was installed in Manus Island, Papua New Guinea. Information recorded from the gauge, is held in this record and provided in the form of Yearly Reports, Tide Prediction Calendars and Hourly Sea Level and meteorological data from the Manus - Lombrum station.
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.
Funafuti is the largest atoll of the nine low reef islands and atolls that form the Tuvalu volcanic island chain. It comprises numerous islets around a central lagoon that is approximately 25.1 km (N-S) by 18.4 km (W-E), centered on 179 degrees 7'E and 8 degrees 30'S. 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 Funafuti Chart is available here for download under the section Distribution Info.
Coastal geological and geomorphological mapping was done around Savai'i Island, Samoa. Four map sheets representing the 4 directional quarters of Savai'i island was produced and is available for download from its individual metadata entry with appropriate permission.This entry holds the project final report and collections of microphotographs and underwater pictures.
Aerial photographs taken in 1999 were mainly used for overall mapping. Satellite (Ikonos) images,
1:100,000-scale geology map and 1:50,000-scale topography maps were also used as supplementary data. In
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 of Banaba at a scale of 1 :15 000 and is available for download from its appropriate link under Distribution Info.

In October, 1992, a SEAFRAME (Sea Level Fine Resolution Acoustic Measuring Equipment) gauge was installed in Lautoka, Viti Levu, Fiji Islands. Readings(height observations) recorded from the gauge, is held in this record and provided in the form of Yearly Reports, Tide Prediction Calendars and Hourly Sea Level and meteorological data (update frequency- real time) from the Lautoka station and also readings from a Non-SPSLCMP Station in Suva, Viti Levu . This is downloadable from the Distribution Info Section of this metadata record and dataset available in digital text format.

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 Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission, SOPAC, carried out a marine survey for Papua New Guinea around, Madang, Sissano and Vanimo.
This report describes the high-resolution bathymetric mapping survey carried out over a period
of three weeks from 28 May to 15 June 2006, resulting in the acquisition of over 733 line-km of
MBES data. The survey achieved variable coverage of 50–100% (less for shallow water areas)
of the seafloor from approximately 50 m in the inshore area to an average offshore distance of 4
Coastal geological and geomorphological mapping was done around Savai'i Island, Samoa. Four map sheets representing the 4 directional quarters of Savai'i island was produced and is available for download with appropriate permission. Geological and geomorphological coastal map of South-East Savai'i is contained in this metadata entry. Aerial photographs taken in 1999 were mainly used for overall mapping. Satellite (Ikonos) images, 1:100,000-scale geology map and 1:50,000-scale topography maps were also used as supplementary data.
The 3 reports and 3 manuals contained here are the result of the training and symposium organised by the Korean Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources(KIGAM). This is part of the UNDP national project on, "Coastal Geological Mapping of Savaii Island, Samoa" Capacity building program.
Training session of two weeks were conducted in each year during the project. The symposium consists of oral presentation sessions and two days of field excursions.
This project was supported by the Ministry of Science Technology together with UNDP.
A high-resolution bathymetric mapping survey of the seabed surrounding the island of Efate in Vanuatu.This bathymetric map is a blend of multibeam (MBES), and singlebeam (SBES) echosounder data. All slope angles exceeding 60 degrees (degrees from horizontal) were interpreted as scarps. Any Inclined area of the seafloor that was laterally confined by distinctive slopes, with or without an upslope headscarp, was interpreted as a channel.
