This creature in the pic-
ture is a Mutlander. Mutland-
ers live on the planet Mut-
land nine billion kilometers
from the Earth. Many years
ago there was an ecological
catastrophe there. Mutlanders
managed to adapt to their
new environment but have
changed very much since
then.
You are an environmen-
talist and have spent a year
on Mutland living with these
strange creatures. You’ve just
returned home and now have
to write a report on Mutland-
ers’ way of life for an eco-
logical conference. Your re-
port must include the follow-
ing items: Mutlanders’ ap-
pearance, typical
features of character, means of communication, family structure, food, apartments, money and shopping, leisure
activities, travelling, life interval and so on.

Ecology Returns to the Deep Sea
On the heels of the 2000 Deep Sea Expedition of the Gulf of Mexico, Ecology Communications joined
NOAA, ten Universities, the US Geological Survey, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the
Wildlife Conservation Society in a three-week exploration of three regions in the Atlantic Ocean stretching from
Maine to Georgia. "AT&T Broadband – New England" has partnered with "Ecology Communications" once
again
to capture the exploration, the technologies that make such research possible, the work of the scientists and the
discoveries and views of the deep sea on video for television and education. The findings told scientists that
there is much about our world we still do not know.
Deep sea biodiversity, deep water coral communities, gas hydrates, deep sea geology, search for new or-
ganisms and the effects of deep sea sewage dumping – all areas of which very little is known – will be studied,
explored and unveiled through video imaging, core sampling, and measurement observations. The three regions
include the Georges Bank, an area the size of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts on the outer edge
of the Gulf of Maine; the Hudson Submarine Canyon, about 400 nautical miles seaward from the New Jersey
Harbor; and Blake Ridge, a vast area along the southeastern continental margin of the US.
Aptly called "Deep East 2001: Voyage of Discovery to Deep Sea Frontiers off the U.S. East Coast", the ex-
pedition spans 13 days, departing from Woods Hole, MA, and concluding in port at Charleston, SC. The
manned deep-sea vehicle "Alvin", the US's only manned submersible capable of diving below 2,000 meters,
