The Oceanic Zone is commonly used in geography to refer to the regions of the Pacific replete in Islands. Many of these islands are coral atols built up on an old volcano.

Anthropologically, they are divided into Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia.

Because of the warm waters, the corals support a great variety of sea life forms. But because the water is generally far from land and major river systems, it is poor in nutrients.
