TITLE

   

Learn about coral reefs. Discover what animals live there and how coral grows.

In the marine biome, there is an area called the deep ocean. This begins at the point where sunlight can no longer shine through the water. Usually, the deep ocean starts at 656 feet (200 m). Without sunlight, plants can’t grow and nothing warms the water. So, the deep ocean is very cold. Some animals have found ways to survive. They are often a little strange looking.
