Essay topics:

Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they respond to the specific points made in the reading passage.

The reading and the audio mainly discussed the reasons causing the decline in the population of sea otters along the western coast of America. According to the reading, the most important factor is water contamination, however, the lecturer disputes this theory, having said that, this is predation which is the most likely reason for this ongoing extinction.

First, based on the reading, pollution is the more likely cause due to the known sources of oil rigs and industrial chemical pollution along the coast, yet the lecturer disagreed, she explained that this theory cannot be true given the fact that there is no evidence of killed sea otter near the area, which confirms the fact that they were eaten by orcas whale predators.

Second, the passage introduced another reason, suggesting that other mammals such as seals and sea lions were also declining, since the environmental pollution does affect the entire ecosystem rather than being selective to a single species. On the other hand, the woman on the audio argued this hypothesis, she purports that this pattern of declining in other sea mammals has proven the predatory theory more strongly. The investigation on this area reveals that haunting whales by humans which were food for orcas whales had forced them to change their pray to smaller mammals like seals, sea lions, and sea otters.

Third, the reading assets that uneven pattern of the declining sea otter was aligned with water pollution, albeit the lecturer argued this reason, saying that uneven pattern is related to the fact that the more the population of orcas whale is available, the more we are facing the decrease in small sea mammals. She describes that there is a direct link between shallow and rocky coast in which the environment is not appropriate, the rate of declining is smaller, in comparison of deep-marine environment where the incline in the population of the sea otter is more drastic.
