The lecturer expresses her disapproval of the theories regarding the decline in sea otter population presented in the reading. According to the reading, the sea otter population is said to have declined more likely due to environmental pollution than attacks by predators. However, the lecturer begs to differ.
Firstly, the lecturer provides the explaination that if pollution was the main cause of the decline in sea otters, dead bodies should have been found washing up on the shores. However, no such sightings indicate that pollution may not be the major reason behind declining sea otter population. Infection could be one reason provided by the lecturer as an example. This explaination is also consistent with the predator theory provided in the reading.
Secondly, the lecturer points out that whales who used to live in these areas have started moving outwards into the ocean fearing the human intervention, which may have led to whale hunting animals like ocras to hunt other nearby animals such as sea otters, seals and seal lions. According to the lecturer, this is a more plausible explanation to the declining sea otters and other animal's population in the area than the ones provided in the reading.
Thridly, the lecturer argues that the uneven patterns in the decline of the otter population could have been due to location specific terrain. Sea otters cannot access rocky areas and thus the population of sea otters in rocky areas have not declined more significantly than other areas. Without more knowledge regarding the terrain, this information cannot be attributed to the population theory.
