Marine biologists who are part of the Nekton mission are currently taking samples as they catalogue the marine life of the remote atolls and coral reefs of the Seychelles, gathering tiny crustaceans, larvae and juvenile fish.
Sky News is filming the team with science correspondent Thomas Moore joining the scientific expedition, and will broadcast what it calls a "pioneering series of programmes" entitled Deep Ocean Live, from 300 metres below the waves on the TV news channel.
