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 .
High-resolution swath mapping, using multibeam echo sounder was used to delineate the seabed morphology around Vanimo.

The Marshall Islands, officially the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), is a Micronesian island nation in the western Pacific Ocean, located north of Nauru and Kiribati, east of the Federated States of Micronesia and south of the U.S. territory of Wake Island, to which it lays claim. The datasets describe the Multi beam bathymetry survey and a high-resolution bathymetric mapping of the seabed in the Majuro lagoon and some parts of the seabed around the atoll.
This record holds the bathymetry chart of Ghizo Island of the Western Province in the Solomon Islands . High-resolution bathymetric mapping survey was conducted for the seabed surrounding the island of Ghizo to collect data. 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 Ghizo at 1:25 000.
This work was initiated by the SOPAC/EU Reducing Vulnerability of Pacific ACP States Project (Task no.: NR 1.1.1).
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).
