Australia is currently the only developed nation with a significant population of dugongs. Dr. Helene Marsh estimates the population could increase 5% annually if their habitat is protected. However, human activity that destroys their habitat could cause the population to decline and potentially make dugongs extinct. As a result, the Australian Government enforces acts to protect dugongs by making it illegal to harm or kill them.

Types of cohesive devices

What are they?
Cohesive devices are like bridges
between parts of a text

They are cues that help the reader to
interpret ideas a writer wants them to
understand

What do they do?
cohesive devices help you carry over a thought
from one sentence to another,
from one idea to another,
or from one paragraph to another with words or
phrases.

cohesive devices link sentences and
paragraphs together smoothly so that there are
no abrupt jumps or breaks between ideas.

Why do you use them?
cohesive words and phrases are used to link
sentences and paragraphs, to show which
direction your thought patterns are going, to help
the reader accurately follow your train of
thought.
They signal the relationships among the various
parts of your subject.
