Great Barrier Reef Local-Scale Coral Restoration Toolkit
RRAP’s aim is to create an innovative suite of safe, acceptable interventions to help the Great Barrier Reef resist, adapt to, and recover from the impacts of climate change. The Program supports the eventual deployment, if required, of at-scale integrated restoration and adaptation interventions. We recognise that local engagement in restoration work has the potential to enhance and be an innovative scaling approach for intervention deployment.
But what is available now? The resources listed here provide users with quick access to a range of key Great Barrier Reef coral restoration guidance material and links to find out more about coral restoration efforts around the world.
Please note that this page is intended to create a centralised toolkit of relevant resources, including those created and maintained by other organisations. Acknowledgement and responsibility for these resources remains with the relevant organisations. Keep checking back for additional resources over time.
