A {{Spinoff}} of the popular Australian fantasy series ''Series/H2OJustAddWater,'' MakoMermaidsAnH2OAdventure follows the life of three mermaids and teenage boy turned merman. Sirena, Lyla, and Nixie were three young mermaids charged with protecting the small magical island of Mako during the full moon in order for the rest of their mermaid pod to perform their moon rituals. Unfortunately young Zac falls into a mystical pool on Mako during a full moon and interrupts the sacred ritual, thus granting him merman powers, but causing the three young mermaids to be cast out of their pod. Equal parts comedy and drama, the series starts off with Sirena, Lyla, and Nixie attempting to remove Zac's powers so as they can rejoin their mermaid family.
