Description
Research Process: How did you implement and expand your skills in information literacy as you transitioned from the CP to the AP? To what extent did your research process for the AP change from the CP? (For example, did you use new databases, or did you search for new genres of sources? Did you alter your keywords in the same databases? Did you use your CP sources to uncover other sources?)
Writing Process: To what extent has your writing process changed as we've moved from an expository essay (the CP) to an argument-driven Advocacy Project? Consider all stages, from brainstorming and outlining to drafting and revising -- have you approached any of these stages differently for the AP? Further, to what extent did conducting research all throughout the drafting process help you to make decisions about the organizational logic of your paper

Reflection Essay
Argumentative writing presents an opportunity to write persuasive essays and research
papers. The combative research process enables me to align the search keywords to provide
precise results during the database search. In the argumentative style, I can explore different
sources that provide information about a particular stand of the topic. According to Afrin et al.,
articles in newspapers provide information that takes a certain inclination of the research topic,
making them favorable for argumentative research (64).
The argumentative approach enables me to take broader thinking during the
brainstorming stage to enhance the understanding of the topic from different facets. During the
outlining stage, I analyze the topic from the different angles, culminating in the selection of the
stand that has more substantial argument points. In the exploratory approach, I would assess the
topic for any available points for presentation in the essay. The logical presentation of the points
in argumentative design involves connecting the related points to make a more compelling
argument. The flow of content ensures good link-up of ideas to enhance the coherence of the
information. In the argumentative approach, I can notice a fault in the logic more quickly
through the application of critical thinking. The revision process is easier owing to the wellstructured paragraphs.

Climate Change Impact on Marine Biodiversity
Many factors contribute to the climate change problem. Most notably, it is impossible to
underestimate the effect of carbon dioxide build-up in the atmosphere. Scientists link the build-up
of carbon dioxide to deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (Hillebrand et al. 360). The effect
of the gas is depletion of the ozone layer, culminating in adverse impacts on marine life through
ecosystem imbalance. There exists a variety of solutions to climate change. Currently, overreliance
on scientific methods to control climate change presents a problem in the attempt to address the
challenge adequately. The application of ecosystem-based adaptation is a viable option in the effort
to curb the adverse effects of climate change. An in-depth assessment of the approach shows the
feasibility of the method in comparison with other existing approaches.
Marine habitats, ecological health, and fisheries currently face pressure from overfishing,
pollution, and other anthropogenic impacts. According to Young et al., climate change poses
additional challenges in the development of environmental management and conservation
planning to preserve ecosystem services, since changes in ocean conditions, primarily water
temperature and various oceans biogeochemical aspects have begun (340). Marine biodiversity
reacts to changes in organismic physiology and phenology. The changes, including population
dynamics and distribution, emanate from rising temperatures and other ocean conditions. Such
responses to changes in the environment and the atmosphere lead to changes in species diversity,
changes in community structure and ecosystem functions, and changes in marine goods and

services. This paper will discuss the effects and possible approaches to rising climate change
impacts on marine biodiversity.
Causation
Different factors contribute towards adverse climatic changes, culminating in a negative impact
on the marine organisms. Millions of species live in the ocean. The sustainability of the oceans
depends heavily on marine biodiversity. The effects of climate change on marine species due to
human activities are immediate, changing their abundance, variety, and distribution. Nutrition,
growth, and breeding, as well as the relationship between species, is greatly affected. Emissions
and pollution present a fundamental cause of climatic change. The burning of fossil fuels and
deforestation increases the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leading to climate change
(Hillebrand et al. 360). Seawater acidity is rising as a direct result of increasing levels of carbon
dioxide in the air from human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide levels
are higher than in the last eight hundred thousand years. Carbon dioxide dissolves in salt, changes
the chemical composition of seawater, and increases the PH of the water (Young et al. 340). The
increased acidity of the ocean makes it smaller, and it makes it easier for predators to consume...
