Maps and associated data from the Turtle Research and Monitoring Database System (TREDS). A summary of the database can be found below.
The Turtle Research and Monitoring Database System (TREDS) provides invaluable information for Pacific island countries and territories to manage their turtle resources. TREDS can be used to collate data from strandings, tagging, nesting, emergence and beach surveys as well as other biological data on turtles.
The dataset contains a range of different Pacific regional maps developed by the SPREP GIS team and is available for use by members and partners.
Sea level anomalies in the tropical Pacific, influenced by events like El Niño and La Niña, pose risks to islands due to fluctuations in mean sea level. Advanced climate models and a multimodel ensemble approach offer improved forecasting, aiding Pacific island communities in mitigating the impacts of sea level extremes.
