The purpose of new scientific endeavor is to establish quantitatively rigorous baselines for earlier reef conditions and to document the extent to which different reefs have varyingly declined from a relatively more pristine to degraded state. This variability is the key to understanding why some reefs have much more abundant corals than others; knowledge that is essential for preserving and restoring coral reefs and their ecosystem services in the foreseeable future.
