What is a Working Group?

Working Groups are dedicated to developing solution-oriented action plans based upon the CRC's priorities and establishing best management practices to help increase the scale and efficiency of coral restoration.

These Groups are made up of numerous individuals and organizations. They are topical groups with a shared common interest. Their goals vary from publishing peer reviewed papers to producing educational webinars for the broader community.
