summary: A 5-m resolution gridded digital elevation model (DEM) for the bathymetry (ocean depth) of the lagoon environment of Majuro Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). Compiled from ship-borne multibeam sonar surveys conducted from 2003-2006 by the Pacific Community (SPC) Geoscience, Energy and Maritime (GEM) Division, formerly the South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC). This work was implemented through the project "Reducing Vulnerability of Pacific States" funded by the European Development Fund. Not to be used for navigational purposes.
