Full description As coral cover in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) continues to degrade, pressure is growing for direct interventions to assist the recovery of corals at important sites. A range of coral restoration and assisted recovery techniques have been trialled overseas and in Australia, however there has not been an evaluation of what will work best in GBR conditions. This project will:
- Summarise and evaluate the success of coral restoration and assisted recovery techniques worldwide and identify the techniques most likely to help the GBR.
- Experimentally test the most promising techniques.
- Come up with best practices for post-impact coral reattachment and reorientation.
- Explore options for training courses, offset models and Indigenous employment.
