Analysis reveals that small-scale law reform can enhance ecological restoration efforts in Australia, suggesting practical pathways for implementation.
Across the globe, law reform is being considered as a mechanism to support, guide, and encourage the upscaling of ecological restoration. While high‐profile examples like the European Nature Restoration Law show the value of large‐scale law reform, this scale of law reform will not be feasible or politically tractable everywhere. Here we present the results of an analysis of selected legal frameworks for marine and coastal restoration in Australia to demonstrate how small‐scale, targeted law reform can be utilized to find levers within existing legislative frameworks to remove some of the barriers to implementing ecological restoration.
