The sunlight zone, also known as the photic zone, is the upper layer of the ocean where sunlight penetrates, typically extending to about 200 meters (656 feet) deep. This zone is vital for photosynthesis, supporting a diverse array of marine life, including phytoplankton, which forms the base of the oceanic food chain. Warm temperatures and abundant light promote a high level of biological activity, making it home to many species of fish, marine mammals, and coral reefs. Additionally, the sunlight zone plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide.
Somewhere in the Mesopelagic Zone (200m to 1000m). Although enough sunlight makes it here for some animals it is too dim for photosynthesis. There is no sunlight beneath this zone.
How much sunlight is in the mesopelagic zone
Some does like phytoplankton and zooplankton.
the zone that receives the strongest sunlight
The amount of salinity that there is in the sunlight zone is about 3.5 percent. About 90 percent of sea life also resides in this zone.
