Tuvalu is a member of the Montreal Protocol Pacific Island Countries Network, which was established in 2008 to support compliance with the Montreal Protocol, in recognition of these countries’ unique social, economic and environmental characteristics. By 2016 these countries had achieved an 85% reduction in HCFC consumption since 2009, well ahead of their HCFC phase-out obligations.

The online database has a navigation tool to efficiently explore fish information for Tuvalu.
Between 2000 and 2010, Tuvalu’s use of HCFCs increased slightly, due to the increased use of HCFC-22 in air conditioning and refrigeration equipment (Government of Tuvalu 2010). Since 2013, an annual quota system has been implemented to regulate the import of HCFCs and ensure a complete phase-out by 2030

Bio-ORACLE is a set of GIS rasters providing geophysical, biotic and environmental data for surface and benthic marine realms. The data are available for global-scale applications at a spatial resolution of 5 arcmin (approximately 9.2 km at the equator).
Linking biodiversity occurrence data to the physical and biotic environment provides a framework to formulate hypotheses about the ecological processes governing spatial and temporal patterns in biodiversity, which can be useful for marine ecosystem management and conservation.
CSV file containing the global distribution of hydrothermal vent fields in WGS84 coordinate system.
CSV file containing species richness values and mapping parameters for marine species (with a probability of occurrence > 0.5) derived from AquaMaps. A total of 33,512 species were used in the generation of this file.
Coordinate system is WGS84 (ESPG 4326) with coordinates expressed in longitude and latitude.
Fields in this file are:
