Wikipedia
neritic
The neritic zone (or sublittoral zone) is the relatively shallow part of the ocean above the drop-off of the continental shelf, approximately 200 meters (660 ft) in depth. From the point of view of marine biology it forms a relatively stable and well-illuminated environment for marine life, from plankton up to large fish and corals, while physical oceanography sees it as where the oceanic system interacts with the coast.

neritic
Neritic refers to the shallow part of the ocean located above the continental shelf, extending from the low tide line to the depth where sunlight no longer significantly penetrates the water, typically up to 200 meters. This zone is characteristically rich in marine life due to ample sunlight and nutrient deposits from land. It is an important area for marine fishing and biodiversity.
