Objective

While basic introductions and supporting documentation are available, there is a lack of a comprehensive solution, customized to the Pacific. As part of its objective to enhance the sustainable management of marine and coastal biodiversity in Fiji, Kiribati, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, and Vanuatu, MACBIO supports an EEZ-wide spatial planning framework.In the region there is an increasing demand for open-source web-based spatial planning instruments for marine and coastal zones in the Pacific. 

The project aims too: 

Support and guidance for the use of open source GIS

Provide a sustainable GIS learning platform

Enhance the Pacific GIS community

Pacific centered
