They are trying to use this letter to decipher whether you have realistic expectations of graduate school and know why you are choosing to apply here. Educate yourself on the institution at least through its web pages and by reading a few publications of its faculty. Don’t focus on a specialty for which the program has no potential advisor. Dramatic writing has its place, but not in your essay. Saving the oceans and feeding the world from the oceans are not realistic graduate goals. Aiming at pieces of those issues (e.g., a particular fate or effect of a pollutant, a particular management strategy or a particular food-web pathway or fishery) in the limited duration of a graduate program is far more realistic. Naming faculty members whose work particularly interests you is a good idea. Explaining why is an even better idea. Choosing and naming only a single advisor as a target has obvious risks that should be reduced by prior communication with that person (e.g., by e-mail) to confirm that the person might be interested in advising you. One way to compose an effective essay is to choose two to four people in the unit or program to which you are applying as an imaginary audience and explain why you want to work with them. Go ahead and list them afterward as (non-exclusive) examples of people with whom you might work. There is no more important decision that you will make in applying to and entering graduate school than choosing your advisor. Indeed that choice should be a primary reason for applying to a particular school. If you have no idea who your advisor might be, you have not done enough research into graduate schools and you likely are wasting the money you put into the application.
