1 | Aff | Camps | Plans | |||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | A Door Into Ocean - Queering Nature | HSS | Thus, _____ and I advocate that we should substantially increase exploration of our relationship to Earth’s oceans through narration and discussion of Joan Slonczewski’s science fiction novel A Door Into Ocean. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | Anthro | Our Advocacy is to reject anthropocentrism and take a biocentric view on all living things to give them moral value | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Aquaculture | WSDI, CNDI, CDL, Georgetown, JDI, Samford, SDI, Wake, Mich7, MoneyGram | The United States Federal Government should enact new legislation that explicitly creates a national regulatory framework for offshore aquaculture. The United States federal government should pass the National Sustainable Offshore Aquaculture Act. The United States federal government should create a National Offshore Aquaculture Framework that - authorizes the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as the lead federal agency for regulating offshore aquaculture and gives it authority to determine appropriate locations for, permit, regulate, monitor, and enforce offshore aquaculture in the Exclusive Economic Zone - requires the NOAA to issue legally binding national standards and regulations to prevent or minimize impacts on the marine ecosystem and fisheries - establishes a research program to guide the precautionary development of offshore aquaculture in the EEZ The United States federal government should pass the National Sustainable Offshore Aquaculture Act. The United States federal government should increase offshore aquaculture development by making the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration the sole agency responsible for regulating offshore aquaculture and by providing permits for offshore aquaculture development. The United States Congress should substantially increase development of offshore integrated multi-trophic aquaculture in the United States’ Exclusive Economic Zone through financial incentives and permits regulated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. The United States federal government should increase offshore aquaculture development by implementing and fully funding the National Strategic Plan for Federal Aquaculture research (2014-2019). The United States federal government should create a streamlined national framework for offshore aquaculture that consolidates regulatory and permitting authority to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Aquarius Reef Base | Mich7 | The United States federal government should fully fund the Aquarius Reef Base. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Aquatic Invasive Species | Mich7 | The United States federal government should implement a federal framework for the management of aquatic invasive species in United States oceans. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Arctic Exploration | NDI | The United States federal government should increase its development of physical and cyber infrastructure in Antarctica necessary for exploration of the Southern Ocean. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | Black Atlantic | HSS | As a result, we endorse the exploration of the black Atlantic, a call for a strategic realignment to shift away from national and ethnic frames of reference. Instead of a unidirectional narrative “back to Africa” or “forward to North America,” the black Atlantic furnishes us with the metaphor of a vast ocean, representing the transcontinental complexity of relationships and networks experienced by those affected by the Middle Passage – this strategy of cross-fertilization cannot be incorporated in grand narratives of assimilation or separation but represents the condition of black cultures everywhere. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Coastal Marine Planning | JDI | The United States federal government should establish a national coordinated coastal and marine spatial planning system for the ocean. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | Coral Reef Exploration | CDL | The United States federal government should increase its development of mineral accretion technologies for coral reefs in the Earth’s oceans. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | Cthulhu | Gonzaga | Thus we affirm that the United States federal government should increase its exploration of the Earth’s oceans near R’yleh in order to find Cthulhu. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

16 | Drexciya (Middle Passage related) | The affirmative strives to inhabit a space of heterochronic time where ghosts simultaneously inform our past and haunt our present. This presents a fundamental paradox – though we are impelled to speak, to act, to relate, by the blank stare of the specters of the past, we must do so with the knowledge that our speech and actions are never enough, that the work of relation is never complete. The Zong is both past and present, then and now, something new and also something we feel as though we’ve seen before. This temporal déjà vu lets us encounter the Zong as a singular, exceptional apocalypse, and also as exemplary of a modernity that recurs and repeats itself across the globe. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | Earth Relations | Mich7 | In this round, we must adopt the persona of the ancient mariner – you are all wedding guests, and it is our duty to repeat his message of ecological doom before humanity has alienated itself from nature beyond all redemption The role of the ballot is poetic expression – the 1AC is a flash in the night, an acceptance of the infinite unknown of death – the only true meaning has to begin with the understanding that thought itself will inevitably die This speech is our love letter to Mother Earth, the beginning of a conversation that will revolutionize our relationship with her—love letters are critical to a new dialogue with the Earth—their function as meditations and gifts of gratitude makes it impossible to deny interbeing | |||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | Fear of the Ocean | Mich7 | Enlightenment philosophy is founded on a fear of the ocean. We seek predictability, limits, and boundaries because we want to block out the inevitability of chaos, death, and chance. Attempts to circumscribe our voyages only repress what we fear and guarantee that it will be expressed in another place and time. The project of our affirmative is to explore this ocean without refuge, to give up on the myth of a safe harbor. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | Flight 370 | HSS | The United States federal government should expand efforts to locate MH Flight 370. The United States federal government should expand efforts to locate MH Flight 370 by deploying the integrated Orion-CURV-21 search and recovery system.

24 | LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) | JDI, Gonzaga, Mich7, MNDI | The United States federal government should approve existing Liquefied Natural Gas export terminal applications. The United States federal government should approve nearly all applications for Liquefied Natural Gas export terminals within the Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States. The United States Federal Government should approve ocean- and coastal-based facilities in the United States for exporting liquefied natural gas. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
25 | LOST (Law of the Sea Treaty) | Gonzaga, Mich7 | the United States federal government should ratify the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea The United States federal government (United States Senate) should ratify and implement the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea The United States federal government should substantially increase its United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea ocean development | |||||||||||||||||||||||
26 | Makah Whaling | Gonzaga, NDI, SDI, Mich7 | The United States Supreme Court should grant certiorari to Anderson v Evans and rule that the Makah’s whaling rights under the Treaty of Neah Bay exempts them from the Marine Mammal Protection Act permit requirements. The United States Federal Government should recognize the right of the Makah tribe to whale under the Treaty of Neah Bay regardless any legal restrictions relating to the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

34 | Middle Passage / Slave Trade | SDI, CNDI, Mich7 | WE ADVOCATE THAT THE MIDDLE PASSAGE SHOULD BE AFFIRMED AS CENTRAL TO U.S OCEAN POLICY The USFG should substantially increase its metaphysical exploration of the Earth’s oceans. Vote AFF to mourn the loss endured during the Middle Passage---remembrance is vital to mend the social disparity of delineation---the introduction of a counternarrative is necessary to negate the State’s masking of history My partner and I advocate an exploration of the Middle Passage as a method of being radically negative towards civil society The Middle Passage symbolizes the transformation from humans to slaves in the 17th, 18th, and 19th century, creating a legacy of slavery, which has created structural fractures between black and anti-black Americans. Our genealogy of the effects of the immigrant binary between white and non-white citizens is key to understanding the psychic exclusion the racial state enforces. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
35 | Militarism | Gonzaga | Thus—when tasked with the question of whether or not the USFG should increase its non-military development and/or exploration of the oceans, we must first question how the USFG has come to develop or explore the oceans - in response to the resolution, ___ and I advocate that the United States federal government engage in non-military exploration of its relation to the Earth’s oceans. Rather than utilizing the same militaristic logic that justified the expulsion and dehumanization of the Chagossians and many other populations, we choose to engage in a critical investigation of those epistemologies, signaling a shift in ideology through our affirmation of non-military exploration. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
36 | Nomads / Pirates | Georgetown | Thus we advocate the exploration of the mind and knowledge that follows no fixed path, has no goal, and has no forseeable end. We advocate the zig-zagging exploration of our own oceans as nomads, in an attempt to burn our flawed knowledge maps. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
