Marine Park
Chapter 5, read Essay 2, Marine Parks, pp. 116-117. Write a one-page essay (about three paragraphs) that answers the following:
1. What is a “marine park”?
2. What three reasons does Bill Daly consider for keeping marine parks open? Why does he ultimately reject each of these reasons?
3. What does Bill Daly think should happen concerning marine parks? What are his reasons?
4. Do you agree with Bill Daly about marine parks? Why or why not?
Be sure to organize your essay into paragraphs and use proper grammar and punctuation. If you use any outside sources, be sure to cite them. You may use either MLA or APA if you like. It is also acceptable to simply copy links to your sources at the bottom of your essay, as long as you make clear how you are using those sources. For instance, you might say:
“According to Dr. X, …..” or,
“In the 2018 article, Such and Such, Dr. X says….”
At the bottom of your essay, then, you would just copy in the link to the article so I can click on it for access. You may have professors who emphasize the use of APA or MLA. As such, you could use this essay to practice one of those styles. To be clear, though, what I care about is you showing your sources and how you are using them. I am less concerned with how you do that, just be consistent in whatever you choose.
The essay you are evaluating is an excellent example of academic writing. In fact, I think Daly’s is the best example I have seen of a short essay for students at the 2000 level to model in their own writing.
