Oil spills are arguably one of the biggest contributions to pollution for animals in the ocean. Oil floats on the surface of the ocean, so when oil spills occur, the oil tends to end up on the shore where it negatively impacts coastal wildlife and humans. It can hurt wildlife by smashing down bird feathers, sticking to fish gills, disrupting breeding, and by poisoning animals and plants. Humans are affected when beaches are closed and seafood cannot be caught.

Explain how each threat is a threat. Write three supporting claims, one for each threat. For your supporting claim, use the following words: acidic, landfills, beam trawler.
(This means you need three sentences. Each sentence should be a different type of threat, and each sentence must use one of the words correctly.)
Answers will vary. Possible answers:
Climate change is a threat because the oceans are warming, which causes them to be more acidic.
Pollution is a threat because too much single use plastic ends up in landfills, and then the ocean.
Overfishing is a threat because unsustainable methods like the beam trawler are catching too many fish.
