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.

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).

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.

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
Record holds the bathymetry chart of the Southern coast of Viti Levu. Survey boundaries of the chart are within the Fiji Map sheet , M30 (offshore of the Coral Coast). The chart is part of the survey carried out by the SOPAC Division of SPC, for the south coast of Viti Levu, Fiji. The surveyed area extends from the coast to approximately 20 km offshore. The chart can be downloaded from the Distribution Info section of this record with permission from the Secretariat.
This record holds the bathymetry chart of the Western foreshore areas of Savai, Samoa. The chart is the result of the multibeam bathymetry survey that was undertaken by the Applied Geoscience and Technology Division (SOPAC) of SPC in between the island of Upolu and Savai in the EU-SOPAC Samoa Survey.
The Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) carried out a marine survey for Fiji around the south coast of Viti Levu. This report presents and describes the high-resolution bathymetric mapping survey (MBES) carried out for the south coast of Viti Levu, Fiji, from Naselai (Suva) to Momi (Nadi) over a period of 8 weeks. The resultant data compilation was used to produce nine bathymetry charts for the south coast of Viti Levu at a scale of 1 : 50 000.
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 Abemana bathymetry chart and is available for download from its appropriate link under Distribution Info.
