RRAP’s mission is to develop and test novel scientific solutions and make those available to managers to help the Great Barrier Reef and other coral reefs survive in the decades ahead, as global warming is gradually arrested.
These coral reef interventions vary in their associated risks, and a full understanding and evaluation of intervention risks is a key component of RRAP, including from environmental/ecological, social, cultural, economic and regulatory angles.
