The great layer of life in the oceans
Original: The great layer of life
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is drawing attention to the ocean's sunlit surface zone, often called the great layer of life, where most marine life is concentrated and where photosynthesis drives the ocean food web. Interest centres on how this thin layer sustains fisheries and absorbs carbon, and why it is vulnerable to warming and acidification.
Why now: Ongoing public and scientific concern about ocean health and climate change is putting a spotlight on the ocean's life-supporting surface layer.
