epipelagic zone
This zone is nicknamed the "sunlight" zone, because of the amount of sunlight (goes down 660 feet!) That reaches it's waters. It is home to about 90% of all ocean life, including sea turtles, sting rays, and... LOTS OF FISH!!! This is the only zone that actually has plant life- like kelp- because it is the only zone that has sunlight to create photosynthesis. Photosynthesis in this zone actually creates 90% of the earths gaseous oxygen! So, enjoy these pictures of the life in the zone!
