The Pros and Cons of Artificial Reefs
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/lessons/08/g912/artificialreefs.html


This lesson plan asks students to consider whether artificial reefs (human-made objects in the ocean or sea) are good for marine ecosystems. Students will look at pictures of artificial reefs and read articles describing the pros and cons of these structures. They will conclude by writing paragraphs explaining whether they think a new artificial reef should be created in Florida waters.
