Nickelodeon Australia Launches 'SpongeBob: Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef', a New Pro-Social Initiative to Help Protect the Great Barrier Reef
To celebrate SpongeBob's 20 years under the sea, Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand is taking a deep dive into some of the big changes facing our reefs, and exploring all the hard work going in to keep things swimming along!
Australia - This year mark's the 20th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants, one of the most iconic TV series and characters ever created, and to commemorate the event, Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand is partnering with Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef to launch Junior Citizens Of The Reef, a brand-new pro-social initiative which aims to raise awareness about the Great Barrier Reef, and what can be done to protect it - a cause very close to SpongeBob's heart.
The Great Barrier Reef is one of the planet's largest most magical natural wonders that is host to millions of species and organizms. It's a diverse, connected living ecosystem that helps keep our oceans healthy, and everyone, from kids to adults and even sea sponges, have a part to play in protecting it for generations to come. SpongeBob and Nickelodeon are on a mission to help keep our Great Barrier Reef healthy and thriving, and they need your support!
In the 20 years since SpongeBob first went to air, pollution and extreme changes in temperature have put the reef in more danger than ever. That's why Nickelodeon wants kids to join them to help raise awareness of one of the world's greatest natural assets! Kids can play an active part by signing up to become a Junior Citizen Of The Reef today at nick.com.au/reefsquad. Kids who sign up to become a Junior Citizen Of The Reef will receive a personnel certificate so that they can share and display their official citizen status with their family and friends to encourage them to follow their lead and take action.
Whilst at nick.com.au/reefsquad, kids can learn more about the reef and discover how they can make a big difference in protecting our oceans with just a few small actions, as well as find out the wonders and threats to the reef, riveting reef facts, watch videos, and find out how they can get involved in protecting the Great Barrier Reef.
The Great Barrier Reef and all reefs in our ocean are a thing of absolute wonder, filled with all kinds of coral, marine creatures, and life beyond imagination. A vast, connected living ecosystem that's hidden away beneath us, yet so big, you can see it from space. It's an environment that's unfortunately has become increasingly under threat and may one day disappear if we don't take action.
Small actions equal big change. A future without the world's largest coral reef is unimaginable, but, there is hope! If kids around the world can commit to a series of small everyday actions to reduce carbon emissions, plastic pollution and food wastage, they can have a BIG impact on healing the reef! Simple actions, like saying "no thanks" to single use plastics, such straws, cups, bottles and plastic bags, along with minimising food wastage can all contribute to a start in the right direction.
Nickelodeon has teamed up popular celebrities who will serve as official Junior Citizens Of The Reef ambassadors throughout the campaign, who will share an important message around ocean conservation and what kids can do to help protect the reef. Celebrities include: DJ Tigerlilly, Georgia Productions, Alex Hayes, Rafferty Laight, Morgan Hipworth, Andy Ridley, and the Aussie Dolphins.
SpongeBob SquarePants was created by marine biologist Stephen Hillenburg, who sadly passed away in November 2018 following a battle with ALS. A fitting legacy for Hillenburg would be for his beloved character to help protect the reefs in our ocean.
Did you know that the Great Barrier Reef is a barometer for the well-being of the whole planet, and is one of the first major ecosystems to suffer from the devastating effects of climate change?
Help to keep our oceans squeaky clean by becoming a Junior Citizen Of The Reef today! Find out how at nick.com.au/reefsquad

The purpose of the day is to inform the public of the impact of human actions on the ocean, develop a worldwide movement of citizens for the ocean, and mobilize and unite the world’s population on a project for the sustainable management of the world's oceans.
Andy Ridley from the Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef will also be present on Saturday morning and is looking forwards to meeting the PDSS Reef Guardians, and all age groups are encouraged to attend and help kick off this great initiative.
Channel 7 will cross live for the weather and SpongeBob will be there from 7am and there will be five crossings to the Marina between 7am and 9.45am. This will be SpongeBob's first visit to the region.
Don't miss your chance to see SpongeBob SquarePants in Port Douglas.
The general manager of Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina, Robert Cruz, told Newsport he was excited to host this collaborative event.

Guava Juice Hosts New Nickelodeon “SpongeBob SmartyPants” Digital Series
SpongeBob SmartyPants, a brand-new weekly game show, debuts Sat. Dec. 21 on Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants’ YouTube channel. Hosted by YouTuber Roi ‘Guava Juice’ Fabito, this 5-episode series features contestants going head-to-head to test their knowledge and skill on all things SpongeBob for a chance to win the coveted Golden Pineapple.
Roi Fabito, known as ‘Guava Juice,’ is the Nickelodeon for today’s digitally connected kids and families. With over 14.6-Million subscribers and 6.4-Billion views on his main YouTube channel ‘Guava Juice,’ Roi has mastered the art of creating captivating content and successful entrepreneurship. Known for his insane challenges, bathtub experiments, silly DIYs, and random shenanigans – he has been able to capture the hearts of many and remind us that we should always embrace our inner child.
Roi has been recognized in and outside of the media as a top creator and entrepreneur. This year alone he has received nominations for the Teen Choice Awards, Kids Choice Awards, Streamy Awards and Shorty Awards. Additionally, he recently launched a successful mobile gaming app ‘Guava Juice: Tub Tapper’ (now available on Facebook), as well as a slime-filled toy line ‘Guava Toys’ (currently available at Target and Walmart stores/online).

From South China Morning Post:
Filipino-American SpongeBob game show host and YouTube star on his rise to fame and the role he was born to play
Roi Fabito, known to his fans as Guava Juice, hit the big time on YouTube with a parody video of Carly Rae Jepsen’s hit song Call Me Maybe in 2012
Now he has four separate YouTube channels, a series of toys, his own mobile gaming app, and even a musical album
There are YouTube celebrities and there is Roi Fabito, better known to his many fans as Guava Juice. His wholesome but off-the-wall videos have garnered him nearly 15 million subscribers and more than 6 billion individual views.
Now, he is taking his stardom to the next level, bringing his particular brand of antic enthusiasm to television (or at least a television network’s YouTube channel) as the host of SpongeBob SmartyPants, an all-things- SpongeBob SquarePants quiz show on Nickelodeon’s dedicated SpongeBob YouTube channel.
Now, he is taking his stardom to the next level, bringing his particular brand of antic enthusiasm to television (or at least a television network’s YouTube channel) as the host of SpongeBob SmartyPants, an all-things- SpongeBob SquarePants quiz show on Nickelodeon’s dedicated SpongeBob YouTube channel.
As the host, he oversees kids flaunting their knowledge of the popular cartoon, going head to head in the hopes of winning the coveted Golden Pineapple.
It’s the role that he was born to play, Fabito says. “I’ve been a huge SpongeBob fan growing up and even now. It’s such an amazing show, because its humour can relate to people of all ages.”
In that, his Guava Juice channel has something in common with the popular cartoon.
While Fabito says he has always been driven by a passion to help children, today his massive audience is scattered all over the world: “[My] fan base ranges all over the place, from eight years old all the way up to 30 years old.”
Fabito is 28, or as he puts it, “10,390 days old”. He was born in the Philippines but moved with his family to the United States. They settled in Durham, North Carolina where Fabito would make his home for the next 22 years, before his burgeoning fame drew him – like so many before him – to Los Angeles.
“My life before YouTube was very boring,” he recalls.
“Living in a small town forced me to find things to help me enjoy my time there. So luckily for me, when YouTube had just started back in 2005, I was already making random videos with my friends in my neighbourhood.”
While his talent to entertain is undeniable, Fabito credits his success as much to good timing as anything else.
He started his first channel, “Wassabi Productions”, named for a then-popular skit on MTV’s reality comedy series Jackass in which daredevil dirt bag Steve-O snorted wasabi on camera.
“Unfortunately, I thought the word wasabi was spelt with two s’s,” he says. “We would do silly sketches of us pretending to be news anchors and lip syncing to our favourite songs like Barbie Girl and songs from High School Musical.”
As rudimentary as his channel was, at the time YouTube was still a new service and those basic videos alone secured them a following of more than 10,000 subscribers, which Fabito says “was a lot at the time”.
Fabito has distinguished himself in a very crowded field of YouTubers by the breadth of his offerings. Look on his channel and you’ll see videos of him drinking some of the world’s hottest hot sauce, making jelly in his bathtub, telling you “10 Things Not To Do in a Hotel Room”, and appearing in music videos for his original songs like “I Love Ice Cream!”
He may make it look easy, but Fabito will be the first to tell you that it is anything but.
“‘YouTube is easy’ is the biggest misconception about being a YouTuber. A lot of people don’t take online creators seriously, as they think it takes no talent to become famous and successful,” he says, having heard it all before. “It takes a lot of patience, a lot of research, and a lot of constant work to make it work.”
His first major hit was a parody video of Carly Rae Jepsen’s hit song Call Me Maybe with a friend on April 7, 2012. Within two weeks, it had 30 million. “That [was] unheard of,” he says. Today, that video has more than 136 million views.
Fabito now has four separate YouTube channels, a series of toys, his own mobile gaming app, and even a musical album.
These last two years have been a whirlwind for Fabito. He won a 2018 Streamy Award for the “Kids & Family” category, and was nominated for a 2019 Teen Choice Award for “Choice Male Web Star”, a 2019 Kids Choice Award for “Favourite Social Star” and a 2019 Shorty Award for “YouTuber of the Year”. That all culminated with the job offer from Nickelodeon – the ultimate honour for a children’s entertainer.
“I realised I was famous after that Call Me Maybe parody was posted. I would get stopped at grocery stores, restaurants and the mall,” says Fabito, admitting that, for the most part, he enjoys the celebrity status. “It feels cool, to be honest. But it’s pretty tough,” he says. “Most of my private life is in secrecy and not many people know about it, which is amazing. I value that privacy, so having both a private and public life is incredible.”
Fabito says that the best part of being famous is being able to use his lofty platform to “inspire those who need the laughter or the smile that day”. That, and to lend his clout to good causes, which he did most famously with a series of videos granting unwell children wishes in a partnership with the Make a Wish Foundation.
And the worst part of his celebrity?
“The worst part,” he says, “is when people ask to take a picture with me while I’m using the public bathroom.”

He won a 2018 Streamy Award for the “Kids & Family” category, and was nominated for a 2019 Teen Choice Award for “Choice Male Web Star”, a 2019 Kids Choice Award for “Favourite Social Star” and a 2019 Shorty Award for “YouTuber of the Year”. That all culminated with the job offer from Nickelodeon – the ultimate honour for a children’s entertainer.
“I realised I was famous after that Call Me Maybe parody was posted. I would get stopped at grocery stores, restaurants and the mall,” says Fabito, admitting that, for the most part, he enjoys the celebrity status. “It feels cool, to be honest. But it’s pretty tough,” he says. “Most of my private life is in secrecy and not many people know about it, which is amazing. I value that privacy, so having both a private and public life is incredible.”
Fabito says that the best part of being famous is being able to use his lofty platform to “inspire those who need the laughter or the smile that day”. That, and to lend his clout to good causes, which he did most famously with a series of videos granting unwell children wishes in a partnership with the Make a Wish Foundation.
And the worst part of his celebrity?
“The worst part,” he says, “is when people ask to take a picture with me while I’m using the public bathroom.”
