Marine and Coastal Hub research overview 4: Marine and coastal habitat restoration

Overview

This two-page fact sheet summarises for a general audience research conducted by the Marine and Coastal Hub in the focus area of Marine and coastal habitat restoration. It includes the research context and outcomes for research users. Many nature repair projects are happening across Australia’s coastal and marine habitats, but on a limited scale and with limited coordination.
Clear guidance and governance are needed to clarify the priorities, risks and opportunities and make nature repair attractive to investors. Marine and Coastal Hub projects are removing the barriers to investment by mapping habitats and threats, improving practices, supporting First Nations leadership and participation, and advancing national approaches to nature repair.
