MarVista is a German television channel that produces episodic series and films. Its content comes in the form of digital media as it broadcasts it on the internet for live viewing or downloading for free. The theme of its content ranges from humor to documentaries to drama. The company was founded in 1988 when the lead anchor for a German television show worked together with producers to produce a segment on aquatic life around the world. They decided to name the channel MarVista based on its affiliation with water. It began in Germany and has since expanded to become a worldwide channel that services markets in almost every country that has access to the internet.
The shows include documentaries like Dolphin Wave and Trapper's Dilemma as well as animated cartoons and comedic series like Mermaids Attack and Alien Under the Sea. Dolphin Wave, fore example, features a very young marine biologist named Jane Hanser as she traverses the ocean in search of trapped dolphins. She exposes the corrupt actions of fisherman and anglers around the world and the inhumane way in which large fish are captured, tortured, and killed.
Mermaids Attack is a comedy series that is targeted toward children. It aims to entertain them with stylish graphics and interesting stories while also educating them. It teaches the audience about proper fishing etiquette, how to swim, and how to call for help if someone is drowning in deep water. The show began in 2009 and is slated to continue through 2016.
