Photic Zone: Beach

The Photic Zone is the uppermost layer of the ocean or lake that is the area near the surface with enough light to support photosynthesis. In this zone, both the chemical and biological activity can be enhanced by penetrating solar radiation. This zone is about 20 meters in depth of the ocean and can be the living support and home for a variety of many different organisms and species.
