Other than downing some ranks' numbers, the largest benefit would be to what could be in control of that island itself. Signs of something much bigger were there, but not if it were active.

My Captain already wishes to pose the idea to set up a sort of quarantine -or any watch- around the island, for safety's sake. Any help in coordinating that would be welcome, even as I work on a report to present to EAGLE, the Paladin's branch of MANTA.
