The South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission, SOPAC, carried out a marine survey for Samoa around the island of Savai'i and Upolu. The Bathymetric map of Samoa shows the chart bounds as blue boxes. The wave and current regime at three main locations mainly in the passage between the two islands (Apolima Strait) was also investigated.
This record holds the bathymetry chart of Marovo Island in the Solomon Islands . High-resolution bathymetric mapping survey, was conducted for the seabed surrounding the island of Marovo, to collect data. The survey was carried out from the 1st of July 2005 to the 6th of July 2005 using Reason 8160 MBES equipment and from the 30th of June to the 7th of July 2005 using Reason 8101 MBES ,resulting in the acquisition of part of over 1 535 km of multibeam echosounder (MBES) data collected for the Solomon Islands.
This record holds the Bathymetry datasets of the offshore areas of Nui Atoll island in Tuvalu. The dataset are in XYZ text delimited format . Nui is a N-S elongated atoll island approximately 8.1 km long and 2.5 km wide, centred on 7 degrees 13'S and 177 degrees 9'E.
Nanumea is an elongated atoll 13 km long along the NW-SE axis, and 2.4 km wide along the SWNE axis, centred on 176 degrees 6'E and 5 degrees 39'S. The surveyed area extends to a maximum of approximately 5.3 km offshore from the coastline at the northwest tip of the atoll.
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 Nanumea bathymetry chart is available here for download under the Distribution Info.
Nanumanga Island, located at 6 degrees 17'S and 176 degrees 19'E, is a low reef island comprising a single island approximately 3.7 km long along the N-S axis, and 1.6 km wide along the E-W. The island is surrounded by a fringing reef, with small central brackish-water lagoons. The surveyed area extends to an average of approximately 4.0 km, with maximum coverage of 7.3 km from the coastline to the north.
The Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) carried out a marine survey for Tuvalu in the waters around all nine atolls and low reef islands, namely, Nanumea,
Niutao, Nanumanga, Nui, Vaitupu, Nukufetau, Funafuti, Nukulaelae, Niulakita. This work was initiated by the SOPAC/EU Reducing Vulnerability of Pacific ACP States Project.

This report describes a high-resolution bathymetric mapping survey of the seabed surrounding the island of Niue. The survey was carried out over a period of six days in May 2005, resulting in the acquisition of over 550 km of multibeam echosounder (MBES) data.
This report describes a multibeam bathymetry survey of the seabed surrounding the island of Niue and report is available for download from its approprite link under Distribution Info.
High-resolution bathymetric survey was carried out in Majuro Atoll in the Marshall Islands over a period of 10 days from 18 to 27 July, resulting in the acquisition of 752 km of multibeam echo sounder data. This report describes the marine survey work carried out by the Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) for Majuro. The resultant data compilation was used to produce bathymetry charts available from the SOPAC geonetwork site as a separate metadata entry. The report is available for download from its appropriate link under Distribution Info.
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 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 Abaiang bathymetry chart and is available for download from its appropriate link under Distribution Info.
High-resolution swath mapping, using multibeam echo sounder was used to delineate the seabed morphology around Madang ,Papua New guinea at the maximum depth coverage in the lagoon of 50 m at the entrance around the southern end,near the main harbour.
Vaitupu Island is located at 178 degrees 40'E and 7 degrees 28'S, and displays composite characteristics of atoll and low reef island forms, classified as a part-raised atoll with an enclosed lagoon by Scott and Rotondo (1983). The survey area extended approximately 1.8 km offshore from the coastline. The resultant data from the SOPAC marine survey in 2004 for Tuvalu was used to produce nine bathymetry charts at scales ranging from 1:20 000 to 1:50 000 and the Vaitupu chart is available for download here under the Distribution Info section .
