Part 1: Identify the Issue: (10 points)Take the time now to consider a research topic carefully, determine that your thesis is not too narrow or too broad, and find four or five good primary scientific references. The assignment will be much more comfortable when writing the research paper in Part 2 and writing three letters of appeal in Part 4. Conversely, avoiding doing a few hours of research for MPP Part 1, will make Parts 2, 3, 4 much more difficult.The only restrictions on the choice of a MPP issue is that it must be related to the ocean.Include full citations of the preliminary references in the assignment submission.Read chapters 14 and 15 in the textbook and look online for ideas. Other places to search are the NOAA Ocean Explorer website; the NASA Oceanography webpage; the USGS Pacific Coast and Marine Science Center; and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.Some ideas include:Mining Ocean Resources (choose a specific resource or geographic region: oil, manganese, diamonds, or deep ocean mining, in a specific geographic location.)Tidal and Wave Energy (choose a specific method and/or geographic region.) Perhaps narrow your thesis to only tidal or only wave.International Fishing Practices and Legislation: Overfishing, illegal fishing, methods, or fishing regulations (choose a single species and/or geographic region.)The Human Impact on Coastal Zones (choose a specific coastal zone impact and/or geographic region.)Waste Disposal in Oceans (choose one type of waste. For example: plastics, nuclear, sewage, illegal dumping, and coastal dumping. It would be best to also narrow this geographically, for example, The Bay Area, Northern Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, North Atlantic, Indian Ocean or the Galapagos Islands.)Climate change and the oceans is too broad an issue to be adequately covered in a short- research paper. Students interested in this topic should focus on a narrow thesis related to this issue. For example, the impact of ocean acidification on a specific marine ecosystem, the melting of polar ice impact in the Arctic or Antarctic, the impact of global sea level change on a specific city or region. Again, global climate change alone is much too complicated an issue to address adequately in a short research paper.Ocean Dead Zones (choose a specific dead zone/region)
