This dataset contains mapped point locations for protected areas within the Marshall Islands. This dataset should be viewed in combination with the World Database on Protected Areas polygon locations to get a comprehensive view of all protected areas within the Marshall Islands.

State of Environment (SoE) reports provide in-country partners with a process to gather data on current environmental indicators, document their status, and formulate a plan for keeping these indicators on track or developing policies and programs as needed. This SoE Toolkit dataset contains resources that serve as guides to help create up-to-date State of Environment reports.

This dataset has all icons for Multilateral Environment Agreements such as SDGs and Aichi
The Strandings of Oceania database is a collaborative project between SPREP, WildMe and the South Pacific Whale Research Consortium to record stranding and beachcast data for whales, dolphins and dugongs throughout the Pacific. We use a platform called Flukebook. An account is needed to view or use data within Flukebook but the data is available for download here. You can submit data direct into Flukebook (preferably while logged in) or send a completed data form to SPREP for upload. Guidance on using the database is available :

The zip-file contains 2 shapefiles (points and polygons), displaying the protected areas in the Marshall Islands.
Historical rainfall data (1901-2015). Climate Change Knowledge Portal, World Bank Group. Historical data to understand the seasonal CYCLE: This gridded historical dataset is derived from observational data, and provides quality controlled temperature and rainfall values from thousands of weather stations worldwide, as well as derivative products including monthly climatologies and long term historical climatologies. The dataset is produced by the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of University of East Anglia (UEA), and reformatted by International Water Management Institute (IWMI).

Conservation International, GRID-Arendal and Geoscience Australia recently collaborated to produce a map of the global distribution of seafloor geomorphic features. The global seafloor geomorphic features map represents an important contribution towards the understanding of the distribution of blue habitats. Certain geomorphic feature are known to be good surrogates for biodiversity. For example, seamounts support a different suite of species to abyssal plains.
This dataset shows the global distribution of seamounts and knolls identified using global bathymetric data at 30 arc-sec resolution. A total of 33,452 seamounts and 138,412 knolls were identified, representing the largest global set of identified seamounts and knolls to date. Seamount habitat was found to constitute
approximately 4.7% of the ocean floor, whilst knolls covered 16.3%. The research leading to these results received funding from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme, and from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The Global Volcanism Program database currently contains 1422 volcanoes with eruptions during the Holocene period (approximately the last 10,000 years). This resource contains the mapped locations of the Holocene volcanoes thoughout the world in shapefile format.
