Before & After Cyanide Fishing - NEED Pictures!
Hey everyone. I'm working on a pursuasive essay for my English class and the topic I've chosen is whether or not the use of Cyanide should be illegal or now throughout the world. I'm pretty sure you can tell which side I'll be supporting. However, above all the information I have gathered, I thought it would be a good idea to possibly provide several pictures of coral reefs before and after cyanide had been used, I feel it would provide a very dramatic feeling for the essay.
If any of you have pictures or know of any place that can provide pictures, please let me know. Also, any information on cyanide fishing you can link me to would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks! Rock Anemone

You should toss in there how finding nemo has devestated the clown fish population in southern japan.

Thanks for the help everyone, great links and great suggestions.
Greg, I guess I should of stated more on the fact of enforcing it, since in a way it's practicly legal in countries where they just don't have the power or support to enforce it. The opposing side views, as I see them, would be the common question, "what benifits do the reefs give to us, why should the be protected?" etc and that's pretty much what I'll carry into on the debate against the opposing side. Therefor, my overall topic is that the law stating that cyanide fishing is illegal should be enforced more so than it is already. Sorry about the mix-up. Rock Anemone

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. |

I suggest that you do more research on this topic and take the excellent advice offered by "hsvtoolfool." |

Well, the only thing I can see is that if everyone would like to enforce it, why is it being used so much and becoming a wide spread issue?
hsvtoolfool, what would two good sides be for that topic? I see where you're going however what would the two "for and against" sides be? Thanks for the help everyone. Rock Anemone

I've already answered this: MONEY, MONEY & MONEY. These third world countries don't have enough money to deal with basic needs, such as food, medicine and housing. And what resources they do allocate to enforce environmental laws are often skirted by corruption. The question of cyanide fishing "becoming" more "wide spread" is debatable. I was under the impression, at least, that it had been somewhat reduced. |

So, wouldn't it be a good debatable topic on enforcing these laws and sending money and resources to these countries that cannot support the law by themselves?

FWIW there is an article in one of the old reefkeeping mags where they went to visit some of the collectors and there are some pictures in there of cyanide damage.

No high school essay will stop a world-wide crisis such as cyanide fishing. I'm doing it for myself and to provide knowledge to others on the topic.
Also, if you read above, I have taken in the other ideas. I've simply had questions about my current topic, as I am curious. It isn't a "bad" topic at all either. Thanks for the help guys. Rock Anemone

Trust me, for the a persuasive essay the cyanide issue is as good as or better than any of the other topics here. Like I said before, you're topic doesn't need to be debatable. It doesn't even need to be a realistic goal. You just need to convince people of your view. I've seen a great persuasive essay about how water should be banned. Is water controversial? Is it realistic to ban water? No, but the author made very good, logical points to support his argument. That's all you need to do in a persuasive essay.
Then again what do I know, right? I only write papers a few times a week.
