Our blue planet (original title: The Blue Planet ) is an eight-part documentary that deals with the marine environment . The series, the German subtitle of which is The Natural History of the Seas , was produced under the auspices of the BBC and was first seen on British television in September 2001. The material from the series was used to produce the theatrical documentary Deep Blue , using unpublished sequences .

With its excellent underwater shots, the series set new standards in the opinion of many critics. The production team, led by British nature filmmaker Alastair Fothergill, worked for several years to capture marine life on film. At times, up to twelve teams worked at the same time. The film was shot in over 200 locations. The accompanying music is from George Fenton . The speaker of the German version is Norbert Langer .
