The reading and the lecture are both about artificial reefs that nade of enormous materials. More specifically, in regard to the passage, the writer presents three theories about the pros of establishing fake reef. The lecturer disputes the claims made in the article. His position is that these new reefs will make more problems than benefits.
First and foremost, the author of the reading states artificial reefs can enhance the competition to the small fishers who compete with the large firms. The article mentions that this new area will provide encouragement to the small fishers, so they can help their society. This argument is chaleenged by the lecturer. He claims that it is not necessary to increase the overall population for all fish, because artificial reefs will atract the fish from many places to stay in distance location. Additionally, he points out that this will decline the fish population.
Secondly, the author suggests an asteroid colony is valuable of many raw materials. In the article, it is said that the sponsores of these colonies will pay more to mining these minerals and back them to earth. Again, the professor specifically addresses this point when he states establish these reefs in secreat locations will cause safety problems. He goes on to say that make these reefs in know place will not make a good competition for the small fishers.
