I don't know what a good argumentative essay topic could be using the main theme of wetlands. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I live in south Texas. From where I live, east to the Laguna Madre (a bay before South Padre Island and then the Gulf of Mexico) is fairly sandy to extremely sandy the closer you get to the bay. The town of Port Isabel sits on the bay. There are constant sea breezes-hot land, cool water and then reverses-cooler land than water-so there is a constant breeze and the closer you get to the gulf the stronger the wind is. That's the plot. So as this strong wind blows the sand around, the city and everything in it and also over on the island gets covered with sand. Sand gets in everything, from your swimming suit to your gas tank, and keeping your house dusted is futile. The city fathers decided it would be a good thing to take this large stretch of sandy land and flood it and make it wetlands. The wetlands would displace a lot of animals and would have to be bought (lots of $) with tax money plus it was a large undertaking and lots of land and water would have to be moved. The good side of it is that it would provide a breeding ground for fish and shrimp and clean up the air. Since the oceans are getting over fished and depleted, it would help keep this area better stocked and help replenish what has been lost. Plus it would give the migrating birds a safe place to stop. Birds from the south migrate north and those from the north migrate south so it's important to have places for them to be safe. The city fathers decided to do it and it has been a boon for all concerned. They have decided to put roads through it for the tourists to see the wildlife so there will be income from it too. The bad side was that immediately after the flooding there were quite a few dead animals along the highways as they tried to move on. My nephew even saw a rare cougar on the move. But basically, it is a move in the right direction toward saving our area. I'm sure you can find it on the internet. It was cost v improvements and change.
