Slide 1: Title Slide
Research and Presentation Portfolio: The Impacts of Climate Change on Coral Reefs
Slide 2: Thesis Statement
Climate change is causing devastating effects on coral reefs, leading to coral bleaching, habitat destruction, and decreased biodiversity.
Slide 3: Coral Bleaching
Claim: Climate change is causing rising ocean temperatures, leading to coral bleaching.
Support of Claim:
- Studies show that increased ocean temperatures are directly linked to coral bleaching events.
- Coral bleaching is a phenomenon where corals expel the algae living in their tissues, turning them white and ultimately leading to their death.
Slide 4: Habitat Destruction
Claim: Climate change is causing sea level rise, leading to habitat destruction for coral reefs.
Support of Claim:
- Rising sea levels due to climate change are causing erosion and loss of reef structure.
- Habitat destruction can result in the loss of important breeding and feeding grounds for reef organisms.
Slide 5: Decreased Biodiversity
Claim: Climate change is causing ocean acidification, leading to decreased biodiversity in coral reefs.
Support of Claim:
- Increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere lead to ocean acidification, which hinders the growth of coral reefs.
- Decreased biodiversity in coral reefs can disrupt the delicate balance of the ecosystem and impact the survival of species dependent on the reefs.
Slide 6: Conclusion
In conclusion, the impacts of climate change on coral reefs are severe and have far-reaching consequences for marine ecosystems. It is crucial to take action to mitigate climate change and protect these vital habitats.
Slide 7: Bibliography/Works Cited
Include a list of sources used for research in APA or MLA format.

Research and Presentation Portfolio: The Effects of Plastic Pollution on Marine Life
Slide 1: Title Slide
Research and Presentation Portfolio: The Effects of Plastic Pollution on Marine Life
Slide 2: Thesis Statement
Plastic pollution in the world's oceans is causing detrimental effects on marine life, including ingestion, entanglement, and habitat destruction.
Slide 3: Ingestion
Claim: Marine animals mistake plastic debris for food, leading to ingestion and subsequent health issues.
Support of Claim:
- Studies have shown that a variety of marine species, from small fish to large mammals, ingest plastic particles.
- Ingesting plastics can cause physical harm, blockages in the digestive system, and introduce harmful chemicals into the animal's body.
Slide 4: Entanglement
Claim: Marine animals become entangled in plastic debris, resulting in injuries and fatalities.
Support of Claim:
- Discarded fishing nets and plastic packaging can entangle marine animals such as sea turtles, seals, and seabirds.
- Entanglement can cause physical injuries, restrict movement, and lead to drowning or suffocation.
Slide 5: Habitat Destruction
Claim: Accumulation of plastic waste in marine environments leads to habitat destruction for various marine organisms.
Support of Claim:
- Plastic debris can smother coral reefs, seagrass beds, and other critical habitats for marine life.
- The presence of plastic pollution can alter the structure and function of marine ecosystems, impacting the survival of species dependent on these habitats.
Slide 6: Conclusion
In conclusion, plastic pollution poses a significant threat to marine life, with detrimental effects on individual organisms and entire ecosystems. It is crucial to address the issue of plastic pollution through prevention, cleanup efforts, and sustainable waste management practices.
Slide 7: Bibliography/Works Cited
