The core of the RRAP Program is founded on seven intervention research and development subprograms, including: (1) cooling and shading, (2) rubble stabilisation, (3) moving corals (larval-based restoration), (4) enhanced corals and treatments, (5) early phase intervention assessments, (6) cryopreservation, and (7) coral aquaculture and deployment.

These are supported by crosscutting R&D subprograms, engagement and regulatory frameworks, decision support, modelling, and ecological intelligence and integrated logistics and automation.</p

The coral gardening process involves the collection of coral fragments, fragmentation, a nursery phase on land or in water, and an (out)planting phase.
