The article and the lecture are about a specific proposal that consists in using the turtle excluder device (TED) for reducing the consequences that the use of nets present for the turtle population. The author in the passage believes that this device presents some disadvantages. However, the lecturer casts doubt on the statements made in the reading. She thinks that the implementation of TEDs in nets is the best way to overcome this issue.
First, the author claims that this device is not successful at all because shrimpers rarely catch turtles, therefore the use of TEDs can result in producing losses in fishers since fish could escape from nets easily. Nevertheless, this idea is challenged by the author who posits that this problem is critical in some parts of United States in which thousands of turtles get trapped in the nest which involve big impact in their population and the whole industry.
Second, the article states that there are other techniques more efficient than turtle excluder device, one method is reducing the time that shrimp boat keeps their nest underwater it implies that turtle will be able to get some air and also shrimpers can liberate them from the nets. Nonetheless, the lecturer discredits this method by clarifying that it is unlike that government monitor the time that shrimpers maintain their nets underwater, but it is more likely to enforce the use of TEDs.
Finally, the author mentions that due to the existence of larger turtles, Turtle excluder device may not work at all. Despite the implementation of this policy, many turtles would not escape from nets with TEDs. The lecturer, on the other hand, puts forth the idea that in areas in which this method is required, TEDs can be modified according to the sie of the turtles which may not affect the exploiting of shrimp.
