Write a letter to your state, local or federal government official expressing your opinion about the health of the oceans. The first step is to use the site Vote-Smart.org to find out where your area's legislators stand on the environmental issues. The intent of your letter should be to persuade them to be a protector of our marine environment.
Include facts demonstrating the importance of a healthy coastline. The FACTS and specific examples should be from your research on the pollution in your area of the state.
Also include facts on the positive effects the coastline has on your district's health, both environmentally and economically (for example, the health of local wildlife for the environment and tourism for the economy).
Your one page, single spaced letter should be clear, concise, and persuasive. AFTER your letter has been graded and returned, you may e-mail it to your legislator's office if you choose. Please keep in mind that your letter will be sent to your legislators. Your letter should be positive and professional. Read the rubric to see what MUST be included in your letter.
