Different species are appearing off the coast of Jersey as seawater temperatures heat up, a marine expert has said.

The head of Jersey's Marine Resources, Francis Binney, said: "The water around Jersey is controlled or influenced very strongly by land temperature, when the land is hot in Jersey the sea gets hot."

"The sea has boosted up to nearly its normal maximum temperature already, normally you don't get to see that until high summer", he said, adding the normal maximum was 18C (64.4F).
