The following appeared in an environmental newsletter published in Tria Island.
'The marine sanctuary on Tria Island was established to protect certain marine mammals. Its regulations ban dumping and offshore oil drilling within 20 miles of Tria, but fishing is not banned. Currently many fish populations in Tria's waters are declining, a situation blamed on pollution. In contrast, the marine sanctuary on Omni Island has regulations that ban dumping, offshore oil drilling, and fishing within 10 miles of Omni and Omni reports no significant decline in its fish populations. Clearly, the decline in fish populations in Tria's waters is the result of overfishing, not pollution. Therefore, the best way to restore Tria's fish populations and to protect all of Tria's marine wildlife is to abandon our regulations and adopt those of Omni.'
------正文------
In this newsletter, the author concludes that the decrease of fish populations in Tria is caused by overfishing and further recommends that in order to protect marine wildfish of Tria people should adopt the regulations of Omni. However, i find this argument unconvincing because it is based on poor supported evidence, which undermines the argument. 【似乎形成了风格】
First and foremost, the author unreasonably eliminates pollution as a factor that could effect the environment of fish and result in the decrease of fish populations. There is no evidence that the pollution of maritime space of Tria is so well controlled that it does not much harm to the fish in that area. Although regulations banning dumping and offshore oils have been carried out, it is entirely possible that much oil could ooze into the sea. It is also possible that many other industrial factories are dumping pollution such as wasted water, some poisonous material into the sea. Without providing detailed information about the environment of that area, the author could not exclude the pollutions as a factor that causes the decrease of fish population in Tria.
Next, even if there is no pollution in that area, the author could neither arbitrarily attribute the reason that leads to the decrease of fish population of Tria to overfishing. There is no information of the accurate quantity of fishing in that area and no contrast between fishing quantity nowadays and in the past. It might be the case that the perishing climate changing that causes the reduction of fish population in Tria. Unless the author makes a careful investigation and provides us exact number of fishing, I could not accept that it is the overfishing lead to the decrease of fish population. 【也可能是天敌数量增加,疾病蔓延,迁徙等】
Finally, suppose that the decline in fish population in Tria's waters is the result of overfishing, not pollution, it does not necessarily mean that the best way to protect fish populations and protect Tria's marine wildlife is to abandon the origin regulations and adopt those of Omni. Although Omni reports no significant decline in its fish populations, perhaps it is because that the origin number of fish population in Omni is so rare 【反了,多才能说少了一点发现不了,要是本来就少的话,再减点就没了】that little decline is not obvious to discover, or it might be the case people have hidden the truth of fish decline. 【这个说的不太好,隐瞒我觉得还是比较牵强的,可以说可能那里污染少,或者,哪里的鱼群不适合食用,所以捕捞的少。而当地的政策执行情况如何并不清楚,可能是原本就很多,少了点没有发现。而政策其实并没有管用。也可能正职繁衍期,鱼的数量多,所以减少的不明显。等等等等。】 Even though the regulations of Omni has proved to be successful, it is unknown yet Tria will reach the same effect because there is no evidence to prove similarity of the environmental conditions, species of fish and such factors between the two areas. Without provide more evidence that the regulation of Omni is adoptable in Tria, the author could not fast conclude that the best way is to use the regulations of Omni.
In conclusion, the recommendation for abandon regulations of Tria and adopt those of Omni is not well supported. To convince me that the reason of decline in fish population in Tria is the overfishing and the effective way to protect fish is adopt the regulations of Omni, the author should provide clear and detailed information of the discussed issues.
