Ocean Mysteries with Jeff Corwin is a television program that follows host Jeff Corwin's travels and work in conjunction with the Georgia Aquarium. It aired from 2011 to 2016 on Saturday mornings on ABC affiliates as part of the nature-oriented programming block called Litton's Weekend Adventure, along with complementary shows Jack Hanna's Wild Countdown, Born to Explore with Richard Wiese, and Sea Rescue.[1][2]
The series focused on wildlife conservation, ocean research, and preserving ocean and ocean-adjacent habitats, with each episode generally featuring one or two ocean-dwelling or near-ocean-dwelling species. Species featured have included various varieties of pinniped (seals, sea lions, and walrus), dolphin, penguins, sea turtles, sting and eagle rays, iguanas, flightless birdss of New Zealand, North American salmon, and whale sharkss. Opening and closing segments generally take place within the environs of the Georgia Aquarium introducing the same or similar species to be profiled on that episode from distant locations such as Southern Africa, California, Hawaii, Alaska, Canada (specifically British Columbia and Quebec), Australia, New Zealand, Florida, the Caribbean Sea, Puerto Rico, the Gulf of Mexico, and Grand Cayman Island.
In 2014, Ocean Mysteries won the Outstanding Travel Program category in the 41st Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards. The program's director, Patrick Greene, won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing In A Lifestyle/Culinary Program.[3] Reruns of this series will be airing on Antenna TV every Saturday morning beginning August 24, 2019.
