the neritic zone is rich in life because many organisms find the conditions ideal because photosynthesis occurs readily, nutrients wash in from land, and the bottom provides shelter and habitat.

The open ocean produces more than 50 percent of the world's oxygen through photosynthetic algae.
Most photosynthetic organisms in the ocean live in the neritic zone. Bull sharks are the only sharks found in the Neritic zone. this zone covers approximately 8% of the entire ocean area, but it shelters majority of marine life in the ocean.
