sea otters declining

The provided material are concerned with sea otters declining which are some small mammals live in waters along the western coast of North America from California to Alaska. The author states that environmental pollution is the most likely cause for sea otters decreasing. In contrast, the lecturer repudiates this point through several counterarguments that are as follows.

Initially, the author says that environmental pollution is the more possible cause of declining, because of some known sources like oil rigs. The more industrial chemical pollution increase, the more sea otters will die. However, the lecturer explains that if any infection occurs in the seas, it will start killing all mammals and nobody can find any dead sea others there.

Second, the writer thinks that predators' attacks are not possible as environmental pollution. Owing to the fact that predators such as the orca prefer to hunt other whales instead of sea otters. Yet again, the lecturer explains that the orcas prefer to hunt whales, but nowadays those whales have been hunting be people, so orcas have to change their diets. They started hunting sea otters such as seals and sea lions and it is the viable reason for their dwindling.

The final point of contention between the article and lecture is the declining uneven pattern. The author says that at some Alaskan locations the amount of decreasing is much more than others. This occurs because of some environmental factors. On the other hand, the speaker explains that the uneven pattern reveals that this pattern relates to orcas accessibility. If orcas can easily access those locations, the number of sea otters will decrease greatly. In shallow or rocky locations, the sea otters population has not declined.
