sublittoral
The sublittoral zone, also known as the neritic or continental shelf zone, is the part of the ocean or sea that is close to the shoreline and extends to the edge of the continental shelf. It is generally characterized by well-lit, calm waters where sunlight can reach bottom, allowing the growth of photosynthetic plants and supporting a diverse ecosystem. This zone remains continually submerged and is usually full of marine life. It is also extensively used for human activities like fishing and diving.
