Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Ocean fertilization
 * I chose to evaluate this article because it corresponds with SDG 14. It was a subsection from carbon dioxide removal. From my understanding, there are severe consequences of ocean fertilization when cone artificially.
 * This article covers the many methods of ocean fertilization, however, I believe this article could expand in the "complications" section, specifically under the sub section "algal blooms."

Option 2

 * Integrated coastal zone management
 * I chose to evaluate this article because it corresponds with SDG 14 and 15. Integrated coastal zone management is a sustainable approach to maintaining coastal areas. This is a topic I am not too familiar with. but would be interested in researching.
 * This article is not recently updates and has little activity in the talk page. There are too many buzzwords and some sections need to be refined. There are even sections that promote the idea of ICZM.

Option 3

 * Cleaner production
 * I chose this article because it corresponds with SDG 12; responsible consumption and production. At the beginning of the semester I stated that this issue was one of the most pressing environmental issues.
 * This article is quite short, so I think it could be expanded. Furthermore, it requires more inline citations. I think this page could also use some images or figures to describe some of the cycles they discuss.

Option 4

 * Carbon offsets and credits
 * This article corresponds with SDG 7. I chose to evaluate this article because carbon credits are a common sustainable solution for corporations. Their role in industry has become more apparent over tome, meaning there is a lot of information that should be covered.
 * This article is very thorough. It provides definitions of offsets and credits as well as examples of projects and programs designed for carbon credits. However, I believe the limitations and drawbacks section could be expanded. There is also discussion of carbon offsets vs carbon credits. It seems that clarity is needed to distinguish offsets from credits.

Option 5

 * Seaweed farming
 * This article corresponds with SDG 7. I chose this article because it was linked in the carbon sequestration article. The carbon sequestration article seems to include more about its sustainable usage than the seaweed farming page itself.
 * I believe this page could use a more detailed section of seaweed farms and their contributions to sustainability efforts. :
