Throughout the world's oceans, hard structures such as natural reefs provide ideal marine habitats. Reefs provide hard surfaces to which plants, coral and sponges can attach, and thereby provide food and shelter for many types of fish. Recently, workers in the fishing industry have tried to increase the amount of suitable habitat for fish by construction artificial reefs from old metal objects and industrial materials and placing them in coastal waters. Artificial reefs have several benefits.
Many fishers believe that by giving fish more places to gather and reproduce artificial reefs have increased the populations of some species of fish. For example a report from one extensive artificial reef program in the Gulf of Mexico shows that the number of red snapper fish harvested in the area has increased by as much as ten times compared with harvests century ago. The increases in the number of fish caught began after the start of the artificial reef program.
Artificial reefs can also improve the economic competitiveness of small-scale fishers. This is because small-scale fishers are able to create their own private artificial reefs in secret locations only they know. Currently, small-scale fishers struggle to compete with larger corporations because fishing grounds are limited in number and most are known to everyone. Creating fishing areas known only to the fishers who make them will help independent fishers support themselves and their local communities.
Finally, artificial reefs are a good way to recycle materials no longer needed for other purposes. Artificial reefs can be made from old cars and other objects that are otherwise difficult to dispose of. Once these materials have been cleaned to ensure that no harmful chemicals remain, they can be placed in the ocean to serve as reefs for marine life. Artificial reefs thus provide a relatively inexpensive, environmentally friendly way to reuse materials.
Construction of artificial reefs for the purpose of sheltering fish or another animals have gathered attention in recent years. The author proposes three potential benefits to that while the lecturer challenges them.
First, some fishers have reported that construction of artificial reefs have resulted in fish population increase in some regions. They have reported a ten fold increase of snapper fish population in the Gulf of Mexico. The lecturer argues that this increase is merely due to the attraction of fish from other reefs. Additionally, this might have an adverse impact because the accumulation of fish to a region will result in the decline of fish population because more fishers will be gather in certain regions.
Moreover, the professor thinks that concealing the location of artificial reefs will have several disadvantages. The author thinks that local fishers can make their own artificial reefs and hide its location from others so they can only benefit from it. This can have several disadvantages like other local boats might crash into these or nets might torn apart. So, local fishers should disclose the location of their reefs and avoid these incidents.
Lastly, the notion of recycling materials for artificial reefs is challenged by the lecturer as well. According to the author, people can clean materials of harmful chemicals and use it as artificial reefs. This will be an environmentally friendly and inexpensive option for fishers. The speaker brings up the Osborne reef incident to disagree with this idea. The Osborne reef was made up of several tires and as the result of a storm, the tires fall apart and killed other plants and fish on the seefloor.
