Sunlight zone in ocean?

Answer 1

photosynthesis layer.

what was the question again?

Answer 2

The epipelagic, sunlit, or euphotic zone is the top layer of the ocean zones.  This is the ideal place for about 90 percent of all ocean life to live because of warm temperatures and sunlight that goes down about 660 feet.  This is the only zone to support plant life because it has the light needed for photosynthesis, which is important because it produces a lot of oxygen and some carbon.  Because of the variety in plant life there is a variety of animals including sharks, mackerels, tuna, seals, jellyfish, sea lions, sea turtles, sting rays, and much more!  Though there are a lot of plants, there aren’t very many places to hide.  Therefore some species have developed a camouflage called counter shading.  Counter shading is when an organism is dark on the top of their bodies, and light on the bottom.  This helps disguise them so that if a predator is looking up at them they will blend in with the water above and if they are looking down at them they will blend in with the darker water below.
