CSD - Public hosts data and information on seabed minerals activities in the Cook Islands.

There is both raw data and processed and published information. This is posted as received and as required under our laws and policies.

Please complete the form below to gain access to the CSD - Public. You are also welcome to reach out to us directly.

A repository is not a database, a repository stores data per a structured filing system (basically it is a library), while a database integrates the data together by type (more like a compiled report of all the information in a library). As the data collected on the Cooks Islands seabed spans some 50 years and was collected by different people using different methods, a repository provides better “data integrity”.
