One of the threats to endangered sea turtle species is the use of nets by commercial shrimp-fishing boats. When turtles get accidentally caught in the nets, they cannot rise to the surface of the ocean to breathe, and they die. Some people suggest that this problem can be solved through an invention called a turtle excluder device (TED) that is incorporated into the nets. A TED provides a passage through which the turtles can escape. However, TEDs have been criticized for several reasons.
The reading and the listening are both about a specific method to save the life of a rare turtle while shrimp-fisher's work. whereas the penman of the reading suggest that the teds are not able to solve the issue, the orator staates that by using turtle excluder device we can get a convenient result of the problem. The lecturer cast doubt on the main points made in the text by providing 3 theories.
First of all, The writer claims that the shrimpers must pay a lot of money for a few number of turtles per month which is not a fair deal. The speaker views this issue from an opposite angle. she says that, as there are thousands of shrimps all around the ocean the result of a turtles per month for each of them causes to a disaster. she argues that most the turtles are very tiny which it makes it impossible for the cathers to see them easily and count down the number of them.
The second point offered by the author is that restriction in the time of work of shrimp boats results in less number of caught turtles in the net. Conversely, the lecturer believes that this idea works just in the theory. she mentions, it seems impossible to enforce the shrimpers to reduce the time of their business.
Finally, the reading passage states that the teds can not support all types of sea turtles because of being bigger that the normal ted size. On the other hand, the professor thinks that changes in the shape of the ted can conclude to feasibility of an escape from the net for the turtles.
