Marine scientists have discovered that whale sharks eat plants, making the iconic fish the world’s largest omnivore. 

Many new high-tech jobs are on offer at AIMS in marine robotics, virtual reality and artificial intelligence.

When De’vereux Harvey was studying mechanical engineering seven years ago, she did not imagine it would lead to a job where she got to visit some of the most sought-after reef destinations in the world to design systems to support marine science.

Scientists are examining why some individual corals are more resilient to heat stress
