TPO-10 - Integrated Writing Task The sea otter is a small mammal that lives in waters along the western coast of North America from California to Alaska. When some sea otter populations off the Alaskan coast started rapidly declining a few years ago, it c
The professor discusses the rapid decline of small sea mammals among North America's west coast, and why it has been proved to be controversial. The information he presents is in direct contrast to the details outlined in the reading passage.
First, the lecturer denies the claim that the pollution is the main reason for the population decline. he explains that these small mammals are probably victim of larger predators. according to the professor, the larger predators kill the mammals and as a consequence to the death mammals' bodies wash up on the alaskan shore. In the contrary, the reading specify that the reason why these species have rapidly diminished is the fact that many pollution sources are found among the coast which indirectly result in the mammal's death.
Secondly, the speaker points out that orcas have changed their diets routines as a result of Wales extinction. In addition, the orcas started hunting other animals of prey such as small otters which are more frequently present among the alaskan coast. On the other hand, the reading makes it clear that the extinction of various small species indicates that pollution is the main factor of their rapid decline.
Finally, the professor discusses the uneven pattern of this decline, and he mentions that many large predators as orcas cannot reach the shallow and rocky places where the population of other small otters is drastically more dense. Nonetheless, according to the reading, the uneven pattern of concentration of pollutants is the major reason why the pollution is not present among all alaskan shore.
