we're done skimming so let's just get to it We
- 00:22
can infer from the passage this thing that the destruction
- 00:26
of estuaries might have certain negative consequences What are these
- 00:30
negative consequences Support your answer with evidence from the passage
- 00:34
All right we're going to go say a right in
- 00:36
here and here's a potential answer So take notes the
- 00:39
passage discusses several important benefits provided by estuaries These benefits
- 00:44
include diverse wildlife filtration ofwater pollutants and sediments economic activities
- 00:50
and protection of land from floods and storm surges If
- 00:54
estuaries were destroyed we can infer that these benefits would
- 00:58
disappear and that problems would surface For example Since estuaries
- 01:02
provide a source of commercial fishing their disappearance would probably

cause a decline in the fish population Additionally since estuaries

protect the land from floods and storm surges we can

assume that there would be more damaging floods and surges

Without estuaries to absorb some of the excess water Alright

- 01:23
notice how loaded it was with evidence from the passage

- 01:29
negatives that come when estuaries air destroyed for what it's
