"Migrations of seven post-nesting green turtles at Rose Atoll (American Samoa) were tracked by satellite transmitters in 1993-1995. Most turtles migrated 1600 km to foraging areas in Fiji and occupied home ranges averaging 27 km2. Additional tag recapture...

A combination of increased commercial fishing and larger local subsistence harvests has left most of Fiji's coastal waters overfished. Declining fisheries have been exacerbated by habitat decline caused by poor land-use practices, out-breaks of coral pred...

Gridded (5 m cell size) bathymetry of the shelf and slope environments of Tutuila Island, American Samoa, South Pacific. Almost complete bottom coverage was achieved in depths between 2 and 3409 meters (5 m grid includes data to 250 m). The bathymetry dat...

"The Coral Reef: A Hidden World" was a Peace Corps and the University of the South Pacific project designed to help educate Fijians about the value of the coral reefs in their waters. The video provides a valuable teaching tool for any classroom studying ...

This project has been completed successfully both within the given timeframe and budget. All materials have been produced and the South East Asia (SEA) and South Pacific (SPAC) workshops successfully planned and implemented. Additional interest in the CSI...

Rugosity is derived from gridded (5 m cell size) multibeam bathymetry, collected aboard NOAA Ship Hiialaka'i and R/V AHI, using the Benthic Terrain Modeler with rugosity methods by Jeff Jenness (2003). Cell values reflect the surface area and (surface are...

Slope is derived from gridded (5 m cell size) multibeam bathymetry, collected aboard NOAA Ship Hiialaka'i and R/V AHI, Cell values reflect the maximum rate of change (in degrees) in elevation between neighboring cells derived with the ArcGIS Spatial Analy...

Multibeam backscatter imagery extracted from gridded bathymetry of Rose Island, American Samoa, South Pacific These data provide coverage between 20 and 5000 meters. The backscatter dataset includes data collected using Simrad EM300 and Reson 8101 multibe...

Each session of the workshop had a specific objective contained in its presentation. Participants were expected to share their knowledge and opinions throughout; receiving more in the morning half that explained the research, and giving more in the aftern...

BPI Structures are derived from two scales of a focal mean analysis on bathymetry; slope; and depth. The grid is based on gridded (5 m cell size) multibeam bathymetry, collected aboard NOAA Ship Hiialaka'i and R/V AHI, and it was creating using the Benthi...
