Resolved: The United States of America should create coral reefs along its coastlines(Policy debate)

This debate is a rematch between Whiteflame and myself (TheJuniorVarsityNovice) on coral reefs, same rules as last time will apply; this is a policy debate with no kiritcs accepted. Unlike most debates about policy, the Burden of Proof will be equally shared. 10k character limit, the purpose of the debate shall primarily be fairness and education. Pro maintains the right to clarify his case to a reasonable extent and con maintains the right to say that a clarification is unfair and unreasonable.This debate will be concerned with a plan to implement coral reefs in the US, to win this debate I must show that the plan will benifit the status quo more than it will hurt it while con must do the opposite. Claims must be supported with credible citations, ones that are not will be considered as invalid by the judges. rounds will be as follows1.) Acceptance2.) first constructive speach/ counter arguments3.) counter arguments4.) rebutals 4,) conclusion, and why either of us should win-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------These may be some of my citations in the round:-First Affirmative Constructive will have these cites in order, in good faith I trust you won't open them until you accept.
