Question
Topic
(Must choose one of these topics- Marine Habitats, Ocean Pollution, Invasive Ocean Species, or Inland Seas): Ocean Pollution
Introduction
“Hook” (one-two sentences where you excite the reader to make them want to keep reading): Imagine walking along a beautiful beach, feeling the warm sand between your toes and listening to the waves crash on the shore. Now, picture that same beach littered with plastic bottles and trash. Unfortunately, this is the reality we face as ocean pollution threatens the reality we face as ocean pollution threatens the beauty and health of our oceans.
Thesis statement/Main idea (one sentence where you tell the reader the main idea/topic of your paper): Ocean pollution is a serious problem that not only harms marine life but also is a significant risk to human health and enjoyment of our natural beaches.
Overview and transition into first body paragraph (explain what will be covered in your body paragraphs, and transition into the first body paragraph): Ocean pollution is a growing problem that we can longer ignore. In this paper, I will explore how numerous kinds of waste like plastic, chemicals, and oil are contaminating our oceans. We’ll look into the effects of this pollution on marine life, the consequences for human health, and how it impacts our enjoyment of beaches.
Body Paragraph #1
Heading (Title of the Paragraph): Ocean Pollution Causes
A. First major point (topic sentence): One of the main causes of ocean pollution is the insane amount of plastic waste that ends up in the ocean, coming from sources like bottles, bags, and fishing gear.
Supporting detail idea 1: Plastic waste is a huge problem for our oceans because it can take hundreds of years to break down. Every year, millions of tons of plastic, like leftover bottles and bags, are tossed into landfalls and rivers, eventually making their way to the sea.
Supporting detail idea 2: Plastic pollution can harm marine animals as they often mistake plastic for food leading to starvation or death when eaten.
Supporting detail idea 3: Plastic pollution also creates deadly conditions for marine ecosystems, as it can tangle up animals like sea turtles and dolphins, causing injury or even death.
Transition to next paragraph: Ocean pollution has many causes, but plastic waste is one of the largest contributors. Now let’s look at the effects of this pollution on marine life and how it disrupts entire ecosystems
Body Paragraph #2
Heading (Title of the Paragraph): Effects of Ocean Pollution on Marine Life
B. Second major point (topic sentence): One of the most serious effects of ocean pollution is the harm it causes to marine life, leading to injuries, diseases, and even death for many ocean creatures.

Supporting detail idea 1: Marine animals, such as fish, seabirds, and mammals, often ingest small pieces of plastic, mistaking them for food. This can lead to a buildup of toxins in their bodies, making them sick and disrupting their natural behaviors. For example, when fish eat plastic, they can have trouble swimming and hunting, which affects their survival and makes them less available for predation, causing a ripple effect through the food chain.
