A number of marine animals which generally have warm-water habitats could become more common off the coast of Britain as temperatures rise.

Scientists say sharks, oysters, and rays could move habitats and be seen more around the UK.

This is according to researchers at the Centre for Environmental, Fisheries, and Aquaculture Science (Cefas).

However, the change in temperatures could negatively affect creatures that live off the coast of the UK, including the ocean quahog, a clam which can live for up to 500 years.
