From the report:

"...The overall goal of this endeavor is to understand the status and trends of each jurisdiction's population, social and economic structure, interactions with coral reef resources, and responses to local coral reef management. ...NOAA CRCP staff, along with educators and managers in the jurisdictions, use this information to monitor changes in coral reef–dependent communities and jurisdictions and ensure outreach programs are designed to achieve their goals."
