The Restoration & Remediation Working Group is examining the current state of restoration and remediation techniques, and is targeting investigations to test the efficacy of a range of potential applications. The research includes the following considerations:

• the scientific protocols necessary to design and implement restoration strategies
• baseline data for developing effective criteria
• the efficacy and feasibility of restoration and remediation techniques
• prospects for enhancing natural recovery
• opportunities to combine reef remediation with small and micro-enterprise at the local level working on three CRTR research programs.

The Restoration and Remediation Working Group is examining both natural recovery processes and restoration interventions.
