The reading and the lecture are both about the installation of a device called Turtle Excluder Device (TED) that prevents the loss of any other sea animals during the process of catching shrimps. The author of the article is of the opinion that the installation of such device on boats has been a fruitful solution. The lecturer completely challenges the claims made by the author. She is of the opinion that such installation devices even if may seem productive are far away from being perfect.
Firstly, the writer states that the TED has mechanical barriers which prevent the trapping of any organism greater than 10 cm. Such barriers are effective since sea turtles will not pass through these barriers and can be used only for catching shrimps. However, this specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She states that even though these barriers can prevent the passage of sea turtles, they can work only for particular sizes. Additionally, she also mentions that such obstructions are not very productive since this still leads to death of mid-sized turtles which are comparatively smaller in size.
Secondly, the author mentions that to avoid any further losses, the installation of TED has been made mandatory. On top of that, organizations for installation and regular maintenance have been established for monitoring the usage of the device. However, the lecturer completely rebuts this by pointing out that it is impossible for any organization to constantly monitor its usage. She elaborates on this by saying that due to the mechanical restriction of the barrier, shrimps can escape the trap which leads to loss and hence usage of the device has not been preferred by the people and there are no means to ensure that the device has been installed all the time or on a temporary basis.
Finally, the author says that the import and selling of shrimps have been restricted only to certified users of TED boats. Such restrictions enforce the users to install the device. In contrast, the lecturer argues that the import can still continue with the possession of fake documents and certificates. She also points out that possessing fake certificates in the vessel is not a daunting task and hence is not an effective solution to cease the import. Consequently, the author still believes that the solution employed in the article is not completely efficient.
