| An outbreak of sharks? Endangered, ancient species? Our resilient planet is under constant pressure, and it needs your help as you take on missions to protect rare and mysterious ecosystems. The Operation: Resilient Planet Game brings you along on real-life science expeditions with practicing researchers and explorers. You'll need to use the right tools, find the right data, and be prepared to argue your case. Dive into the world of Operation: Resilient Planet through amazing 3D graphics, stereo sound, and fun-to-use controls. Create a free account in the JASON Mission Center (or log in now) and download the game to your PC or Mac. It's free to anyone who would like to play and explore! Students will: - Choose to ride along with Enric Sala or Bob Ballard as a research assistant
- Pilot a remote operated vehicle (ROV) through unique underwater ecosystems
- Work with great explorers to uncover some of the most pressing ecological scientific mysteries
- Construct the types of tools used by modern scientists to gain cutting-edge insight into animal behavior
- Use the data you have gathered to help persuade decision makers
- Collect special trophies, rare creatures, and unlock video footage along the way
 | Highlights of The Operation: Resilient Planet Game include: |  |  | Are the northwestern Hawaiian Islands experiencing a shark infestation? Can you keep endangered marine turtles safe from harm? Solve these mysteries and discover amazing underwater ecosystems and rare creatures by piloting the Hercules ROV. | Play as one of the Operation: Resilient Planet Argonauts as you work closely with scientists and explorers like Bob Ballard and Enric Sala to answer urgent questions about some of the most unique places on the planet. | Use the same methods and tools ecologists use in the field to learn about and protect endangered animals. | Gather data and use it to help preserve the ecosystem by arguing your case to influential scientists and policy-makers. | Use special technology to see the world from a turtle's point of view! | Use an ROV to explore an ecosystem that remains healthy and resilient in the face of change. |  Discover, catalog, and help creatures from the fiercest predator to the most vulnerable turtle. | Conduct a biodiversity survey to determine the health of the ecosystem. |  |  |  |  |  | |
