AquaMaps are computer-generated predictions of natural occurrence of marine species, based on the environmental tolerance of a given species with respect to depth, salinity, temperature, primary productivity, and its association with sea ice or coastal areas. These 'environmental envelopes' are matched against an authority file which contains respective information for the Oceans of the World. Independent knowledge such as distribution by FAO areas or bounding boxes are used to avoid mapping species in areas that contain suitable habitat, but are not occupied by the species.
The InterRidge Vents Database is a global database of submarine hydrothermal vent fields. The InterRidge Vents Database is supported by the InterRidge program for international cooperation in ridge-crest studies (www.interridge.org).
This dataset contains templates of policies and MoU's on data sharing.
You can download the Word-templates and adapt the documents to your national context.

dataset with data pertaining to livestock (piglet) distribution by R&D for outer islands in the fiscal year 2014 - 2015. This data was analyzed in the current SOE
RMI Protected Areas data from the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA), downloaded August 2019. This dataset includes both tables and spatial data.
Each value represents the number of dumping events observed on fishing vessels during the period 2003-2015
A Public Data License Agreement available for use by PICs for their Environment Data Portals
This is a template that can be used when creating a State of Environment report, and sections can be added or adapted to fit a country’s needs.
SPREPs recommended template for individual indicators in national SoE reports. The full SoE template will be updated in the coming months.
a recorded consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) in the Republic of the Marshall Islands
Under the Montreal Protocol, RMI maximum allowable ozone depleting substances consumption are recorded herein
Consumption of CFCs has remained reasonably constant in RMI since 1993. The data set out herein was collected by the international consultant on his visit to RMI. Data before 1995 is not considered reliable and is only an estimate of consumption at that time
The use of HCFCs is generally increasing in RMI, corresponding to the rise in use of the HCFC 22 in air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. Most of the consumption is for the foreign fishing fleet operating from the port in Majuro. Although this HCFC is not used in RMI, it must be counted as consumption by RMI as it is not being formally exported.
