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.
The reading passage explores the issue of artificial reefs. The professor's speech deals with the same idea. However, he reports that many experts hold the view that artificial reefs have many cons instead. And in the lecture, he uses three specific points to support his idea.
First, even though the reading suggests that it is artificial reefs that lead to the increase in the populations of some kinds of fish, the professor argues that the effect of attraction can bring the number of overall creatures. To be more specific, due to the lures, plenty of other predators will catch so many fish that eventually limit their populations. Obviously, the professor's argument disproves its counterpart in the reading.
Moreover, contrary to the reading's statement that it can enforce the economic competitiveness of small-scale fishers, the professor contends that there is no exactly safe place for these private individuals. Then he proves this point with the fact that the shallow districts are easy to be found. In other words, these places tend to be famous generally.
Finally, the professor asserts that it will contribute to environmental damage, whereas the author of the reading claims that it has the ability to recycle materials. Then he appoints this claim is indefensible by pointing out that the surrounding sea floor will suffer from the implement of this initiative finally.
