	Jason About Us : Press releases
		After he discovered the Titanic in 1989, Ballard was so passionate about turning children on to scientific discovery that he founded the JASON Project, a yearlong multimedia curriculum that culminates with millions of students around the globe tuning in to live video feeds of Ballard-led adventures through a specially designed interactive satellite system.
		Each year JASON treks to a new exotic location to study Planet Earth's unique ecosystems using Ballard's pioneering concept, dubbed "telepresence," enabling students to "be there" without being there.
		JASON students watching and interacting in real time via satellite and Internet technology, linked directly to classrooms, science museums and aquariums around the world, will follow Ballard to one of the most unique regions on Earth and join his endeavor to inspire the next generation of great explorers through scientific discovery and digital technology.

	Spectacular Falkland Islands with Vast Penguin and Albatross Colonies Given to WCS
		The islands, part of the Falklands archipelago, were donated by New York philanthropist Michael Steinhardt, who is a member of the WCS Board of Trustees.
		Working in conjunction with the Falkland Islands' government and Falklands Conservation, a local environmental organization, WCS plans to construct a research station on one of the islands to gain a better understanding of the native animal species, many of which have declined over the past century.
		According to WCS Senior Conservationist Dr. William Conway, who recently returned from wildlife surveys of the Jasons, their vast bird colonies represent one of the great wildlife spectacles left on earth, comparable to the wildebeest migration of the Serengeti and to the caribou migration of the Arctic.

	SNIPPET - Jason Islands/Falklands
		I know that the Falkland Islands seem impossibly remote to many people, but to those of us that live here, remoteness has a more specific focus, narrowing down to just a few islands in the archipeligo, which are fabled, but normally impossible to get to.
		The islands themselves are like dinosaur spines- a little flat ground on the coast, but quickly rising - and just packed with wild-life including mile after mile of fl-browed albatross colonies and even at this time of year, penguins galore in evidence - gentoos and rockhoppers still about and the ground riddled with Magellanics burrows.
		While it is unlikely that the Jasons will ever become much visited and perhaps it is right that this should be so, the presence in the islands of two vessels for charter: Golden Fleece and the slightly larger, Meander does increase the possibility.
