1. Neritic zone

   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.

1. neritic zone

   The neritic zone is the portion of the marine ecosystem that extends from the shoreline at low tide to the edge of the continental shelf, typically characterized by relatively shallow depth (around 200 meters). It is a nutrient-rich marine environment due to sunlight penetration and wave action, which promotes high levels of biological productivity. This zone is therefore home to a wide variety of plant and animal life.

1. Neritic zone

   The neritic zone, also called coastal waters, the coastal ocean or the sublittoral zone, is the part of the ocean extending from the low tide mark to the edge of the continental shelf, with a relatively shallow depth extending to about 200 meters. The neritic zone has generally well-oxygenated water, low water pressure, and relatively stable temperature and salinity levels. These, combined with presence of light and the resulting photosynthetic life, such as phytoplankton and floating sargassum, make the neritic zone the location of the majority of sea life. Zooplankton, free-floating creatures ranging from microscopic foraminiferans to small fish and shrimp, live in this zone, and together with the phytoplankton form the base of the food pyramid that supports most of the world's great fishing areas At the edge of the neritic zone, the continental slope begins, descending from the continental shelf to the abyssal plain and the pelagic zone.
