Boosting resilience at high-value reef sites For The Great Barrier Reef

THE CORAL NURTURE PROGRAM

The Coral Nurture Program is a unique partnership between Researchers and Tour Operators to develop novel “stewardship” based management of economically high value Great Barrier Reef locations, with the goal to transform both ecological and social resilience to environmental change. At its core, this program is about undertaking novel research with the purpose to advance community-based restoration. Through this science-practitioner partnership the program is developing tools, methods and novel solutions to replenish reef sites and enhance the reef’s resilience.
