[CINC] Channel Islands Live update

[Staci Kaye-Carr]

"Channel Islands Live" is an exciting project made possible through a  
cooperative agreement between the Ventura County Office of Education  
and the Channel Islands National Park.
Today we are very proud to announce our newest partner, the Walt  
Disney Company. This new partnership leverages the excitement of  
learning and the power of technology to bring one of Californian's  
most unique National Parks closer to you, like only Disney  
“Imagineers” can. The Disney touch has been applied to a wide range of  
institutions including science centers, museums, visitor centers . . .  
and most recently zoos.

Using Disney’s vast knowledge of microwave and wireless technology,  
project partners will be able to bring real-time video from the  
islands to the mainland. To date, we have been successful in bringing  
the Anacapa Island Underwater Dive program to CINP headquarters. We  
are currently working on being able to deliver the Underwater Dive  
program live, directly to local area schools. But now with Disney  
onboard, our broadcasting system will also be going out to schools in  
Anaheim, CA  and as far off as Orlando, Florida. The very first item  
on our new partner's agenda will be the microwave and wireless  
technology that will be used to broadcast from Anacapa (see rendering  
below). Channel Islands National Park will truly be 'The happiest  
place on earth.”

Additional project partners include the Channel Islands National  
Marine Sanctuary , the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration  
and the University of California at Santa Barbara's Marine Science  
Institute.
