Coastal Pollution

My research paper is struggling on thesis to say the least. My friend Lee looked into different viewpoints, yet in unison everyone with pollution agrees that it needs to be stopped. There are different. MY paper is on the affects that pollutions have on the coastlines of oceans. Some sources have different opinions.
1. Long term oil spills and pollution create death to marine ecosystems (Boesch)
2. Coastal shorelines destroyed by overdevelopment’s on the coast. (Diaz)
3. Coastal pollution has created bacterial issues that affect people’s health that enter into the ocean. (Grant)
4. Storm drains have had an effect on coastlines , not just from the coast storm drains, but from the inland areas too.(Haile)

I don't think anyone will disagree with the fact that pollution is bad for the ocean/animals/people, but you might find arguments about how drilling and other things that cause the pollution are necessary and when implemented correctly have little to no effect on the waters.

From your viewpoints represented, I think you might take the argument that coastal pollution is a problem that comes with severe consequences and thus must be taken care of to better the environment and the economy.
