Abstract

At the core of the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program (RRAP) are the potential actions that can be taken on the Reef – the interventions to facilitate the repair of coral reefs, to protect reefs from further damage from the effects of climate change and to promote adaptation to changing environmental conditions. These interventions have three components: the functional objective, the delivery method and the scale at which they can be applied. Functional objective types share intended benefits and have similar social and regulatory considerations. In most cases, the functional objective types contain multiple delivery methods. The first phase of the RRAP program examined the feasibility and benefits of a series of these, which are systematically described at the level of the delivery method in this report. The existing scientific evidence for the interventions and their potential benefits and risks were documented, and knowledge gaps highlighted
