There remain few unexplored frontiers left on planet earth but one is the depths of the Indian Ocean. This is the site of a scientific mission that's under way off the coast of the Seychelles. More than 200 metres under water, the Nekton mission is going where no one has gone before, exploring an area that's already reeling from the effects of global warming. Seychelles President Danny Faure visited Nekton's research vessel and called on all nations to take urgent action to protect our oceans.
