Discover the mysteries of our planet's vast oceans, from surface waters teeming with life to the deepest trenches where extraordinary creatures thrive in eternal darkness.
0-200m depth
The sunlit surface layer where most marine life thrives. Home to coral reefs, kelp forests, and the majority of ocean species we know and love.
200-1,000m depth
The twilight zone where sunlight fades. Many creatures here migrate vertically each day, creating the largest migration on Earth.
1,000-4,000m depth
The midnight zone of eternal darkness. Creatures here create their own light through bioluminescence and have adapted to extreme pressure.
Often called the "rainforests of the sea," coral reefs support 25% of all marine species despite covering less than 1% of the ocean floor.
Underwater forests of giant kelp that can grow up to 60cm per day, creating complex three-dimensional habitats in temperate coastal waters.
