Strategies for large scale coral reef restoration for coastal resilience in the Seychelles

This study was conducted by BMT Australia with financial support from the GFDRR with the objective of developing strategies for large scale coral reef restoration for coastal resilience in Seychelles. It identifies 15 locations on the three main islands where coral restoration could be undertaken to reduce coastal risk and enhance biodiversity.

The report also includes an assessment of the technical, economic, and institutional opportunities and risks of such a national plan and develops financing and implementation strategies for large-scale reef restoration relying partly on private financing sources and public-private partnerships.
