The Regional Coral Reef Recovery Plan is a science-driven initiative developed to restore degraded coral reef habitats throughout the ROPME Sea Area. It involves collaborative action between marine scientists, coastal authorities, and local communities to identify vulnerable reef sites and implement restoration techniques such as coral gardening, artificial reef deployment, and water quality improvement.
The initiative also focuses on training national teams in reef monitoring protocols and building long-term resilience through public education and protective legislation. By enhancing reef health, the plan supports biodiversity, fisheries, and coastal protection in the face of climate and pollution pressures.
