Jonathan Bird's Blue World on public television

Emmy Award-winning underwater cinematographer Jonathan Bird is pleased to announce that his educational internet program Jonathan Bird's Blue World is now being syndicated to public television stations across the country.

Jonathan Bird's Blue World features the dynamic naturalist and underwater photographer Jonathan Bird as he travels the globe on exciting adventures deep below the surface of the world's oceans, where he meets the exotic and sometimes dangerous animals that live there. Co-produced by Jonathan Bird Productions and the 501 (c) (3) non-profit organizations, Oceanic Research Group, the series is designed to entertain the whole family as it teaches everyone to appreciate this little-understood but critical part of our environment. Previously, the program was available only on the internet. However now the half-hour programs are available to all public television stations through syndication by NETA (the National Educational Telecommunications Association). It has been picked up already in 16 states with many more to follow. Jonathan Bird's Blue World can be viewed for free and without advertising on the internet, or on an iPod, as part of Oceanic Research Group's mission to protect the marine environment through education. Each episode of Jonathan Bird's Blue World has an accompanying study guide on the web site to facilitate the use of this program by educators in the classroom. Designed to be both engaging and educational at the same time, viewers will be entertained by every adventure, yet without realizing it, also learn about the marine environment.
