That was also my initial reaction.

If you need a pro/con topic for debate, perhaps you should
examine the effect the marine fish hobby has on reefs. This
is a much broader topic and I bet you'll get a better grade.

For example, illegal collection methods like cyanide and dynamite
are obviously negative results from our hobby. Whereas the
economic growth and job creation from the marine industry
funds reef restoration, regulation, education, and police efforts
fighting illegal collection methods.
