Phytoplankton are primarily found on the ocean surface because they need sunlight for photosynthesis. Sunlight penetrates only the upper layers of the ocean, so phytoplankton stay near the surface to access this light. They also require nutrients that get transported to the surface through upwelling or mixing processes.

How do marine animals live near the surface of the ocean?
Most organisms are either directly or indirectly dependent on photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process where plants use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars and oxygen. Most organisms, not only marine organisms are either herbivores or carnivores that feed on herbivores and herbivores need plants to feed. Since the surface zone of oceans and lakes is the layer where most of the sunlight frequencies still penetrate, it is there where most plants grow. Where there are many plants there are many herbivores that feed on plants and ultimately carnivores can live there, because this is where most of there prey can be found.
