Beneath the surface of the ocean is a world filled with a vast array of fauna and flora but scientists say "somewhat unusual" changes are taking place. Intensified by a marine heatwave in May, they say waters off the south coast of England are getting warmer and disrupting the food chain.

"I'm not a scientist or anything like that," said Cornish snorkeler and underwater photographer Heather Hamilton.

"But because I've been in the sea so much over the last 20-odd years, I have seen changes, especially in the last two years."
