Submarines, robots and even artificial intelligence are some of the tools scientists will use to identify new species in the ocean. The Ocean Census will aim to identify 100,000 marine species in the next decade with new species sent to laboratories around the world for imaging and DNA sequencing.
The Ocean Census project is being led by researchers in the United Kingdom and Japan.
Experts behind the initiative say little more than 10 per cent of marine life has been discovered.
