The reading and the lecture are both about creating artificial reefs. While the author of the reading passage argues that creating artificial reefs has numerous boons, the professor disputes this claim. He states that many scientists believe that these reefs are likely to give rise to many difficulties and problems. The lecturer casts doubt on the main point mentioned in the essay by providing three controversial reasons.
In the article, the author begins by saying that artificial reefs will attract different species of fish, and since they have a safe place to reproduce, the total number of fish will increase. However, the professor repudiates this idea. He asserts that the existence of artificial reefs would attract many other fishes that once lived in other areas. As a result, these new types of fish will be caught by fishers, and because they cannot maintain their population, the overall number of fish will decline.
Furthermore, according to the text, small-scale fishers can create their own artificial reefs and put them in a secret location of which they only are aware. On the other hand, the professor points out that installing artificial reefs in a secret location and preventing others from knowing that brings about many safety issues. For instance, fishers using big nets to catch fish may lose their nets because their nets might be entangled in these reefs. Also, the boats may crash into these reefs in shallow parts of the ocean. If the location of these reefs were known to the public, the local fishers would not be able to compete with big corporations.
Finally, the writer believes that constructing artificial reefs is an environmentally friendly action since these reefs are made out of recyclable material from which detrimental chemicals have been removed. Not surprisingly, the lecturer refutes this assertion by contending that these reefs might still cause damage to the environment even if the harmful chemical substances are removed. For instance, in Ozborn reefs, the tires were used to create artificial reefs, but after a storm, these tires loosed and crashed into the seafloor. Consequently, they caused damage to marine animals living on the seafloor.
To sum up, both the lecturer and the author hold conflicting views on the beneficial impacts of artificial reefs.
