The review notes: "Corwin brings his passion for animals and the environment to this exciting series that promotes conservation through a better understanding of individual marine species. ... Although the show also touches on heavier topics like scientific research and how environmental degradation affects the species they study, it's designed to maintain even young kids' attention, relating an animal's size or weight to familiar objects like cars and giving definitions for terms that aren't familiar. If you're looking to learn something new as a family, Ocean Mysteries is a great place to start, and it's sure to inspire a new respect for the natural world and a new appreciation for conservationists' efforts to protect it."
The review notes: "“Ocean Mysteries” is a great learning experience. Jeff talks about sea turtles of the present or those from millions of years ago. He is very knowledgeable about the creatures presented in each episode. He will keep you interested in the research, capture, release and healing of some of the oceans’ endangered species."
The article notes: "Corwin, a longtime TV host and animal conservationist, is spearheading “Ocean Mysteries with Jeff Corwin,” a weekly 26-episode show that debuts Saturday morning on ABC. The show, part of “Litton's Weekend Adventure” programming shown nationwide, is directly affiliated with Georgia Aquarium; each episode is either being shot at the downtown Atlanta marine emporium or features experts from the venue. The idea for the show germinated about a year ago, when Georgia Aquarium and Litton Entertainment decided to create a unique series focused on sea creatures. ... Saturday’s debut episode follows ... The eight episodes completed so far include a journey to the coast of Mexico to extract blood from wild whale sharks ..."
The article notes: "The conservationist and television host was here to shoot three episodes for the third season of "Ocean Mysteries with Jeff Corwin," which airs Saturday mornings on ABC. ... Corwin and the "Ocean Mysteries" crew travel the world's oceans in search of interesting stories that not only have a bit of adventure, but also convey a message about the importance of ocean research. ... "Ocean Mysteries," made in conjunction with the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, is Corwin's first foray into broadcast TV. ... Hawaii was first featured on "Ocean Mysteries" in 2011, when Corwin visited the islands to spotlight manta rays and Hawaiian monk seals."
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Honolulu Star-Advertiser articles are independent of the subject and provide significant coverage. Sources are not disqualified from establishing notability just because they present a positive view of the subject.
It is inaccurate to say that "There's not much you can do to expand the article". The article can be substantially expanded through the extensive coverage in the sources I provided.
significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.The sources raised by User:Cunard clearly give more than a trivial mention, and so suffice to meet GNG. UndercoverClassicist ( talk) 16:48, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
