Question

seafloor reef. this could make it more difficult for tourists to visit (some) because they would have to swim from farther away (seafloor) island would probably lose some business. but that is a sacrifice (seafloor) island residents should make to save the reef. creating a no-anchor zone will not require buying new equipment or building new things, so the proposal should not cost much money. the council would just need to pay patrollers to check the no-anchor zone several times a day. if there are any boats anchoring in the no-anchor zone, the patrollers can warn the boat owners about coral damage and ask them to leave that area. consider the following characteristics of the solution in this proposal. (decide whether each) characteristic is an advantage or a disadvantage. characteristics of the no-anchor zone advantage disadvantage makes it harder for tourists to visit many popular dive spots protects important and sensitive areas from anchors requires paying patrollers to check several times a day does not require buying new equipment or building things submit work it out not feeling ready yet? this can help:

Explanation:

1. "makes it harder for tourists to visit many popular dive spots": This is a disadvantage because it negatively impacts tourists' ability to access dive spots, potentially reducing tourism benefits. So mark "Disadvantage".
2. "protects important and sensitive areas from anchors": This is an advantage as it safeguards sensitive areas, which is a positive outcome for the environment. So mark "Advantage".
3. "requires paying patrollers to check several times a day": This is a disadvantage as it involves a recurring cost (paying patrollers), which is a negative aspect of the proposal. So mark "Disadvantage".
4. "does not require buying new equipment or building things": This is an advantage as it saves on costs related to equipment and construction, making the proposal more feasible financially. So mark "Advantage".

Answer:

• "makes it harder for tourists to visit many popular dive spots": Disadvantage
• "protects important and sensitive areas from anchors": Advantage
• "requires paying patrollers to check several times a day": Disadvantage
• "does not require buying new equipment or building things": Advantage
