Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Aqua Kids guides children on fun and educational adventures all over the country, to learn how ecosystems connect and what young people can do to make a positive difference for the world they will inherit. Aqua Kids was created by George A. Stover III, a professional TV producer, videographer and scuba diver. While filming underwater documentaries all over the world, he noticed the oceans beginning to decline, and decided to use his profession and influence to educate people about this alarming trend. He realized that to make lasting change, he had to reach the kids and teens of the world. So he and his wife Carol gathered the first group of Aqua Kids and shot a pilot for the new TV show in 2000. It took 5 years for networks to warm up to the idea of kids swimming with sharks and crawling through swamps but in 2005, full seasons of Aqua Kids began airing, and the show has grown every year. Prestigious scientific agencies, organizations and universities all over the country partner with us and work together with us to help create content for our program. It is our mission to bring this message of conservation and awareness to kids, teens and adults everywhere, and educate others to create a healthier and more sustainable planet for all.
