You may have watched Blue Planet II which showed the shocking impact that plastics had on marine life.

The BBC is to follow up with a series of live four one hour shows which will continue to show the crisis in the world's oceans.

The programmes will be broadcast from three different locations across the planet, including the East Coast in the USA, the Bahamas and Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

Blue Planet II helped make people more aware of how much of an issue plastic pollution is in our oceans

On the East Coast of America, wildlife expert Chris Packham will join scientists, experts and conservationists as they carry out new research. He'll be able to delve into all of "the secrets the deep holds for the future of our blue planet".

CBBC's very own action man, Steve Backshall, will take on a series of live missions looking at the ocean's top predators. Masses of sharks gather together to find food and breed at a small island in the Bahamas.

Scientist Liz Bonnin will be at the Great Barrier Reef helping to monitor how new life is coping there. She'll also be exploring challenges such as the harm and damage plastic is having on the oceans.

It's due to be on our screens on BBC One in March next year.
