SOPAC conducted a multibeam bathymetry survey of the entire lagoon of Penryn Atoll, Cook Islands on behalf of their Marine Department. A three weeks mapping project primarily funded through New Zealand’s bilateral assistance to the Cook Islands, and its ongoing support of strengthening the multibeam mapping capacity of SOPAC. A 200m east to west line spacing along the entire length of the lagoon was surveyed, completely covering the entire lagoon.
