tpo 37 the TED method to protect the endangered turtles
One of the threats to endangered sea turtle species is the use of nets by commercial shrimp-fishing boats. When turtles get accidentally caught in the nets, they cannot rise to the surface of the ocean to breathe, and they die. Some people suggest that this problem can be solved through an invention called a turtle excluder device (TED) that is incorporated into the nets. A TED provides a passage through which the turtles can escape. However, TEDs have been criticized for several reasons.
First, some shrimpers (shrimp fishers) argue that turtles get trapped only rarely: it is estimated that on average, one shrimp boat accidentally catches about one turtle every month. On the other hand, using TEDs costs the shrimpers some of their catch. Every time the shrimpers cast the nets, a certain percentage of shrimp manage to escape through the turtle passages. The shrimpers complain that the cost of losing shrimp on a daily basis is too high in comparison with the small chance of saving one turtle.
Second, there are alternative methods of protecting sea turtles that may be more effective than TEDs. One method that can be used is shortening the time limit that shrimp boats are allowed to keep their nets underwater. When the time limit is reached, the nets have to be pulled up to the surface, allowing any turtles caught in the net to get air and also giving shrimpers the opportunity to release the turtles from the nets.
Third, TEDs are not effective for larger species of endangered sea turtles. Some species like loggerhead and leatherback turtles can grow to be quite large and cannot fit through the escape passage that standard TEDs provide. Such turtles cannot escape from the nets even if the nets are equipped with TEDs.
The reading passage and the lecture both discuss the advantage and disadvantages of ted for protecting og turtules. In the reading part, the author mentions that ted expresses as an useful tools for saving turtles, because of the demerits of it, it has critisized for several reasons; in the listening part. however, the professor challenges what the author states and refuts the reasons.
To begin with, as mentioned in the article, the author sets forth that some shrimpers argues that using the teds are costly for them; nevertheless, in the listening part, the speaker flatly refutes this aiea asserting that thousends shrimoers accidentally attack turtles and they cannot protect them. Indeed, it
would be a a big problem for enviroments, although in the scale of the damages to individual shrimpers is not anything. it means that it would has a seliant cost for turtles rather that some shrimpers.
Secondly, the author points out that the shrimpers can shortage the time of the shiping, which had less effect on turtulles. Nonetheless, the lecturer flatly contradicts the reasons and contendes that in theory it might worke, whereas, the the government cannot monitor them and use of the teds would be more bether and make sure the to do not harm species.
Finally, the author claims that the teds are not usfull for larger ones, they can not scape from the nests. In contrast, the professor is of the opinion that it is not aproblem, becaise of the intriding the the bether teds, which can modify easily and solve this issue. therefor, it cannot be longer proble,
