Many of the proposed interventions researched and developed by RRAP included activities that have not previously been considered within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.
The RRAP Regulatory Subprogram was part of RRAP’s first R&D phase and aimed to help develop a robust and enabling regulatory environment for reef restoration and adaptation, and a world-leading regulatory and policy best-practice for reef adaption and restoration.
Governance Principles for Novel Reef Interventions: a report from the Regulatory Subprogram, summarising recommendations for governance principles for novel reef restoration and adaptation intervention.
This subprogram was delivered by a single project, which investigated and enhanced capacity of existing regulatory and policy frameworks for novel interventions on the Great Barrier Reef, in consideration of RRAP Research and Development and subsequent deployment of interventions.
