Potential Articles
Marine conservation activism - Breaks down the various other threats to conservation efforts beyond just pollution such as whaling and shark finning, however it lacks the depth of information that could be provided for pollution compared to the depth of information provided for whaling and shark finning. I would include more subcategories that explain prominent activist groups and NGOs as well as prominent world wide events that have been hosted to promote the activism.

Marine pollution - Very detailed article that goes behind the science of marine pollution and why it is so dangerous to marine life and its consequences on ecosystems. The article could be improved by including a more comprehensive "mitigation" subcategory as well as a "prominent actors" subcategory. The mitigation subcategory should include more information on action that has been declared by current governments to reduce marine pollution as well as private actors. The "prominent actors" subcategory would include both the main causers as well as the main leaders in mitigation efforts. The article didn't seem to explain very in depth where the pollution was coming from and how much so greater detail for those figures would be helpful.

Final Topic
Marine conservation activism - We feel that this article doesn't go into much detail regarding the various issues within marine conservation activism. For example, the article only touches on four topics: debris, whaling, shark finning, and overfishing. There is not much relevant information on the impacts of the oil industry and deep ocean drilling on marine life. Prominent people who have made notable conservation efforts in this aspect of the issue are also unrecognized by the article and therefore we can elaborate on this in the notable people section. Overall, we can contribute more sub topics and expand upon current ones under the "international issues" topic along with adding additional people under the "Notable people" section.
