Publication Date:

Abstract/Summary:
The following report is intended as a manual for those contemplating the regeneration of an area of reef for either management or financial reasons. It is not written as a scientific paper and experimental results upon which the manual is based are confined to technical appendices. Techniques were developed and evaluated at Green Island Reef which had been affected several years earlier by the crown-of-thorns starfish. A project monitoring the natural regeneration at Green Island was undertaken concurrently and is reported separately, though the results contained therein are referred to where relevant.
