Click on the PLAY button to watch the video. After you have heard our sport fisherman tell you what he thinks about yucky sea weed and a few pitiful sea otters, it is your job to provide a convincing argument to show that he is wrong, or at least, severely misinformed. What evidence or arguments can you provide that will convince our sport fisherman that kelp forests are important and worth saving and that sea otters should NOT be harmed?

Each student gets to respond ONE TIME to the question. You MUST write a one paragraph response. You MAY add pictures to help in shaping your answer. You need to be convincing and provide 3-5 good details in your response.
