Algae depend on sunlight to carry out photosynthesis. There is not enough sunlight below 200 meters.

the Cenote at Ik-Kil, according to our tour guide, is 50 meters deep and the water surface is about 30 meters below ground

eutrophicationeutrophicationFertilizer in a lake helps algae grow. Up to a certain point, that is good. The algae turns carbon dioxide into oxygen and adds oxygen to the water. However, after that point, the algae covers the lake. Oxygen from the air can not get to deeper water. Dead algae falls to the bottom of the lake and decomposes. The process of decomposing uses up oxygen. The amount of oxygen in the lake drops below the point where fish can survive. Thus, over fertilization leads to a fish kill.
because it is too cold

Because algae is so numerous in the ocean

It can turn into a graveyard. The algae will grow and grow and suck up all the oxygen, thus, depriving the marine life below of sunlight and oxygen.
found 1 meter below the surface on cloudy days. The study concluded that sunlight penetration was the main factor affecting the depth distribution of the algae.
The dangers of eutrophication are that once the nutrient levels of the water go up the algae will grow and reproduce extremely fast, causing a bloom of algae so-to-say. When this happens the algae will sometimes use all the oxygen in the water therefore suffocating other marine organisms. Another danger is that the bloom of algae (depending how big it is) can sometimes block sunlight from marine plants below the surface that depend on it for photosynthesis. Yet another danger posed by eutrophication is that certain types of algae are toxic and will harm higher forms of life if ingested, and this would cause problems for any other animal that feed on an animal that had eaten the toxic algae.

Living coral must remain relatively close to the surface of the water so that the symbiotic algae can have access to sunshine. The algae requires sunshine in order to complete photosynthesis which provides oxygen to the coral.
Marine algae are photosynthetic. At depths below 200m there is very little sunlight which would make photosynthesis extremely difficult.
whats 40 meters below sea level
"Marine One" ~ see related link below .
Too many algae or plants will block sunlight, suffocating anything that lives below the surface. You need some plants or algae though, for oxygene production.
