The continental shelf is the shallow part of the ocean.
Shallow there is more nutrient runoff from onshore
because it is warmer
Shallow parts of the sea or ocean are called shoals or shallows. They are areas where the water depth is relatively shallow, making them potentially hazardous for navigation.

The ocean is more shallow closer to land due to the continental shelf, which is the submerged part of a continent that extends from the shoreline to the continental slope. The continental shelf gradually slopes downward from the shoreline towards the open ocean, resulting in shallower waters near the coast. This shallow area is important for marine life as it provides a nutrient-rich environment for various species to thrive.
Stingrays come from the ocean. Stingrays are found in parts of the ocean that are warmer and more shallow. A stingray has a tail that stuns its prey with an electric shock.

Shallow ocean waters near land are called neritic.
