ARGUMENT TOPIC

In Borlarvia, the porpoise has become endangered due to overhunting by

Borlarvian fishermen. The government is attempting to preserve the porpoise

by encouraging the fishermen to stop hunting and instead give paid boat

tours to tourists interested in observing the porpoise. The fishermen have

expert knowledge of the porpoise’s habitat, and many tourists have expressed

interest in these boat rides, so the plan has a good chance of ensuring that

the fishermen make a good living while still preserving the porpoise.
