The increased demand for high quality products in export markets, coupled with Pacific Island Countries (PICs) national desire to protect the environment, biodiversity and family farming structures, lead to assume that organic agriculture could offer good prospects for PICs development. Besides market opportunities, organic agriculture could increase PICs food self-reliance and thus, contribute to reducing the alarming trend of dependency on food imports, as well as improving nutrition.

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.

The Global Volcanism Program database currently contains 1242 volcanoes thought to have been active during the Pleistocene period (approximately the last 2.5 million years); volcanoes active in the past approximately 10,000 years are on the Holocene list and are not duplicated here.
