Hi Doug,
I thought their highlighted disclosure made it expressly clear that they were primarily interested in this new scientific approach designed to slow the decline of coral reefs.
WHY WE WROTE THIS
RESILIENCE
Scientists, in a shift from the tradition of not meddling in nature, are replicating coral that shows surprising pockets of resilience amid warming oceans.
But, you are right to ask why they are not even more interested in where this slow (?), but continuous decline is ultimately headed or what we could do to restore more natural (and favorable) conditions to the ecosystem at large.
Regards,
Steve

No mention that if we don't get climate change under control, we will
likely not only lose most natural corals but may lose some or a lot of
corals these projects produce. Also, no mention that no matter how many
corals these projects grow, it will be a tiny amount compared to the number
of natural corals and the numbers that have been killed.
Cheers, Doug
