They are the source of 97% of the world’s water and yet we know vanishingly little about their depths: 90% of the world’s fish live in the twilight zone from 200m to 1,000m and yet, astonishingly, three-quarters of the world’s water is below this depth. There are still blooms of life beyond the midnight zone. When a dead whale sinks to the bottom, specialised feeders, such as flame-haired zombie worms, devour the skeleton. Some “whale falls” support 45,000 worms per square metre, the highest concentration of life in our oceans.Emilio, 10 years old, dressed as Monkey Magic from The Monkey King.

Saker’s latest assignment takes him to India to bring down the men who protect tigers. He’s being employed by a Chinese overlord who specialises in poaching for tiger farms and tiger organs for high priced medicines. But something happens to make Saker change sides and now he’s on the run from his predatory brothers. They’re hunting him down and they’re professionals.He is realistic about the destruction of ocean life. There are half the number of fish swimming in our seas today than when he was born. During his lifetime alone we have taken at least 5bn sharks from the oceans, most so that their fins end up in soup. But he finds hope in the young people he meets through his work. “It would be totally wrong for me just to say, ‘Oh leave it to the youngsters, they’ll sort it out,’ but I don’t think that is what’s happening,” he says.
