Essay topics:

While the reading believes that the sea otters are disappearing because of environmental pollution, the lecturer thinks that predation is the main reason for the sea otter’s decline.

The reading and the lecture are both about the declining of sea otter populations. The author of the reading believes that the sea otters are disappearing because of environmental pollution. The lecturer costs doubt on the claims made in the article. She thinks that the predation is the main reason of the sea otter’s decline.
First of all, the author points that the sources of the pollution were discovered along the coast of Alaska. It is mentioned that the water samples contain much chemical sources that cause pollutions, such as oil rings. This point is challenged by the lecturer. She says that the pollution theory is weaked by the fact that no one could actually find the dead sea otters. Furthermore, she claims that it is not the result that can be predictable in the case of the pollution killing animals.
Secondly, the author contents that other species like seals and sea lions were also declining. The article notes that this can support the hypothesis of the dangerous pollutions killing the whole ecosystem. The lecturer rebuts this opinion. She suggests that the mammals that have declined too, could disappear because of the human hunting and the lack of the fish which they used to eat.
Finally, the author states that environmental factor could create the uneven concentration of pollution, which affected certain part of the Alaskan location and make the sea otter populations decline. The article establishes that this may be a potential reason of the sea otters’ disappearance. The lecturer, in the other hand, positions that it could depend more on the sea otters’ location’s accessability to the orcas. She puts the idea that the huge orcas could not reach the shallow or rocky areas where the sea otters population has not decline which can support the orca predators’ theory.
