      I have not discovered any new marine life..yet! But scientists continue to discover new life, especially when it comes to microscopic organisms (living things). It is believed that we only know about 1% of the microscopic organisms living on our planet. This 1% are the organisms we can grow in the lab and study. You can look up all the new species that have been named after Sir David Attenborough on the BBC website. My favourite is the pleiosaur Attenborosaurus conybeare dinosaur named in his honour.
