100 point! PLEASE ANSWER

Answer 1

Part 1:

• What is the name of the organization?

The name of the organization I choose is Oceana.

• When were they founded?

They were founded in 2001.

• Why were they founded?

They were found to make our oceans more biodiverse since oceans cover most of our earth and we should be concerned with the pollution going on.

• What do they actually do?

They're committed to supporting science-based fishery management and repairing our oceans, they also want to restore our oceans to former levels of abundance.

• What are their goals?

They want to make the oceans a cleaner and environmentally place for people, they support lots of research that may help our oceans before it's too late.

• Why is their work important?

It's important because oceans cover about 71% of our world and they also affect many environments especially marine life we should try and preserve the ocean before its destroyed due to pollution.

Part 2:

• How has your selected organization helped the environment?

They have achieved hundreds of concrete policy victories for marine life and habitats. Some of the things they have done are stopping bottom trawling in sensitive habitats and protecting sea life from commercial fishing gear.

• Write a five to seven-sentence informational paragraph about the important work of the organization you have selected.

Some stuff Oceana has achieved is that they're campaigning for permanent protection for Frenchman Bay and Maine's coastal waters. To add on, they helped passed a new part of the Fisheries Act which states new rules that legally require depleted fish populations to be rebuilt. Additionally, they helped set appropriate catch limits for fishers which helps the suffering of decades of overfishing and excessive uncounted bycatch that environments suffered. To help out with ocean plastic pollution they ended up having Coca-Cola sell a quarter of its product in reusable packaging which would make a huge difference in the pollution which is pilling up in the ocean. Further on, they helped pass an act that will help an endangered shark get a chance at survival due to the new protections passed.

Part 3:

Create TWO different formats that would be featured with your paragraph on a webpage entitled “Environmental Heroes: Anyone Can Be One.”

• What can the average citizen do to help your organization’s cause?

An average citizen can help out by demanding plastic-free alternatives, they can vote on ocean issues they can eat sustainable seafood, there is much someone can do to help out and every little thing matters.

• How has the organization made a difference?

This organization has made a difference by passing hundreds of policies for marine life and habitats.

• Now, think about how you can communicate this information in different formats. Make sure you include the TWO media.
