Answer 1

The benthic zone is a collective term for all types of communities on the ocean floor.  It is usually divided in to deep and shallow areas, rocky or sandy bottoms, and by the dominant habitat-forming organisms.    Try searching for info on specific types of benthic communities, such as coral reef, seagrass, kelp forest, sandy and rocky shores, salt marsh, and deep sea.

Heres 2 links.  The first one is an Adobe reader file that is kind of large so it takes a while to download.
