Option 1

 * environmental issues in Thailand
 * Article Evaluation
 * Section: Mangroves and beach erosion
 * This section does not highlight the importance of Mangroves. I would first like to give a brief overview of the ecosystem services provided by Mangroves, and how these impact Tai people. This would reference the first source listed. Next, I would like to highlight how the presence of Mangroves increases yields of "major products" used in the region, which would highlight concerns around Mangrove loss. This would reference the second source.

Option 2

 * environmental issues in Thailand
 * Article Evaluation
 * section: Rising sea level
 * One thing this section is missing is how sea level rise impacts rural areas. I would highlight how sea level rise impacts rice crop yields, which would reference the first article listed. I also would like to note that beach loss is closely tied in with sea-level rise, and reference that section later in the article.

Option 3

 * environmental issues in thailand
 * Article Evaluation
 * Section: Health Effects
 * The section on health effects basically just lays out the infection rates for various water-borne pathogens. However, it does not give very much background on why water sources are contaminated. I could also use the 2011 flood as a brief case study.
