Aqua Kids (TV series)

Aqua Kids is an award-winning K thru 12 program that educates young people about ecology, wildlife, and science as well as how it all relates to them. It 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 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 Aqua Kids and work help create content for this program. It is the show's mission to bring a message of conservation and awareness to kids, teens, and adults everywhere, with the hope of educating others to create a healthier and more sustainable planet.

Hannah Jones, World Explorer, is the current host of the show. Previous hosts and co-hosts include: Phil Moore (formerly with Nickelodeon), Molly McKinney, James Dorman, Rachel Coccia, and Katie Mulligan. The show's current cast includes: Drew Bostwick (co-host), Selena Paredes, Andrew Pidduck, and Lily Schlossberg-Cohen.
