Answer the following questions based on the
information your team read about the EITS
observation system.

• Who is the senior scientist for the
  Eye-in-the-Sea?
• Describe a disadvantage of using trawling nets to
  observe deep-sea organisms.
• Describe a disadvantage of using submersibles or
  remotely operated vehicles to observe deep-sea
  organisms.
• Why was the Gulf of Mexico chosen as one of the
  EITSs first target sites?
• Why can IR (infrared) light not be used in the
  deep sea?
• The absence of light is a driving force in the
  evolution of deep-sea organisms. Describe an
  example that illustrates this adaptation.

The EITS has also be deployed off the coast of
California in a region known as the Monterey Bay
Canyon. Begin your teams exploration of deep-sea
organisms living in the canyon by following the
rubric on the next slide....
