TED and turtles
The reading and the lecture are both about the turtles that are caught by shrimp bouts unwantedly and die. There has been a new idea called TED that would prevent this problem and help the turtles getaway. The passage provides some problems with this idea. The lecturer disputes each of the ideas made by the author and provides reasons for each and every one of them.
First, the article mentions the percentage of the turtles that are captured by the shrimp nets is small, and considering that the TED method would cost the fisherman some of their profits, it is not economical. The lecturer disputes this idea. She points out that although the percentage is small for one boat there are thousands of boats and therefore thousands of turtles die each year. Moreover, the turtles are endangered species and this could really hurt their survival rate.
Secondly, the article suggests that shrimp boats can shorten the time their net is in the water so the turtles would be released and before suffocating. The lecturer argues that this idea may be good in theory but it can not be done well, as the time the shrimpers take their net out can not be monitored. she goes on to say that the TED is doable because the nets can be checked before each ship enters the area.
Finally, the reading posits that TEDs are only good for small turtles, and bigger fishes like leatherback turtles and loggerheads would still die because they can not escape through the standard passage. In contrast, the lecturer says that the size of the net's passage can be specifically designed for each area to prevent this problem as it is a modifiable parameter.
