The Intertidal zone is the part of the ocean floor that is located between high and low tides. The intertidal zone is mostly on rocky coastlines, swamps, or tide pools. Since this zone is above water during low tide its depth is very dependent on the tides.

The Common starfish is not very large and it uses suction to stay plated to the rocks. The suction cups on its limbs can also be used to open clams and oysters. Since the starfish are very exposed especially to humans they are able to grow back their limbs because most of the vital organs are held in the arms. This may not protect them from harm but it helps them with surviving harm.

The Periwinkle has a hard shell because of where it lives. The rocks are very hard and many time snails can fall or be moved by an external force. Their shells need to be able to handle the rocks and not crack

# data[].attributes.body
The Subtidal zone is deeper and rarely is above water, some occasions it will show on a full moon and extremely low tides. The depth of the subtidal zone is also dependent on the change is tides but for the most part it is 200 meters deep. This zone is mostly on rocky cliffs on the coastline.

This species has tube feet that give it the ability to attach it to rocky shores and strong tidal currents. The urchin also has toxic limbs to protect itself from other predators.

The Greenfish Cucumber lives under the water yet it breathes oxygen. This species has respiratory trees that allow the cucumber to breathe air, when it takes in the water it transfers it to the respiratory trees which filter the oxygen out from the water.

# data[].attributes.body
This zone lies above the continental shelf. Known to be the shallow part of the seafloor around the continents. The depth of this zone is around 600 ft. Main spot for fishing.

# data[].attributes.body
The crab has many helpful parts of their body which help them survive. The crab has a hard shell to protect itself from predators. It also has a pinching claw and a holding claw. One helps to catch food and hold with a strong grip and the other is to eat it with. Lastly, they also have very pointy legs which helps dig themselves under the sand to hide from predators

# data[].attributes.body
This species has a muscular foot that sticks out it shell to keep it from floating away in the strong currents. Their dark color also helps them look like rocks on the seafloor.

# data[].attributes.body
The oceanic zone includes most of the open sea. This zone is located beyond the continental shelf and combined with the neritic zone, they contain the largest amount of marine life. It is at a depth of around 700 ft.

# data[].attributes.body
Kelp is one of the most common sea plant and reaches lengths up to 250 ft, the kelp is able to attach itself to rocks to keep it from floating away.

Algae provides food for many sea creature. But besides that algae can come in many different colors to adapt to the type of water they are in. Specifically red algae strives in tropical water and it gets its color from reflecting red wavelengths whereas it absorbs the blue and therefore has the ability to photosynthesize.

# data[].attributes.body
The pelagic zone is often referred to as the open-ocean zone. The pelagic zone is separated into five sub-zones. The pelagic zone starts at a depth of around 200 m and will reach to deeper than 6,000 m.

# data[].attributes.body
This particular fish has extremely pointy teeth and white string-like things attached to it. The Anglerfish has to adapt to the darkness of the sea around it and because of that he creates bioluminescents to attract prey.

# data[].attributes.body
This whale has a very round shape but it gets it name because of its beak-like mouth similar to a dolphins. This whale has the ability to dive to very deep depths to avoid predators. The whale can handle the pressure being put on it 1,000m or lower.

# data[].attributes.body
This zone is also known as the photic zone because of the immense amount of sunlight visible. This zone is located from the surface to about 200m.

# data[].attributes.body
The epipelagic zone is very bright and therefore predators can spot their prey easily. But the box jellyfish has a bell shaped body so it has the ability to pulse water making it one of the fastest jellyfish. It also has a four eye cluster which makes people believe they have the ability to see color.

# data[].attributes.body
With the high concentrate of salt in the water the turtle has the ability to salt glands in its eyes to drink the water without becoming dehydrated. The hard shell the turtle has gives it the ability to dive down to deep depths around 3,000 ft.

# data[].attributes.body
This zone is also known as the disphotic zone or twilight zone because there is not enough visible light for most life. It is located from 200m to about 1,000m.

# data[].attributes.body
This fish has a camouflage top to match the blue ocean while also have a very light underbelly to blend in with the light from above. Since this zone and the Epipelagic zone have so many sea creatures it is very competitive to get food so the big eye tuna has the ability to dive down at night for less competition.

This shark is not harmful and won't attack humans. Also this shark is bioflourescents which means that it absorbs the blue wave lengths and puts out a different glow like red or brown.

# data[].attributes.body
This zone can be referred to as the aphotic zone which means no light is visible. This zone has pressure that starts to become unbearable. The depth is about 1,000m to 4,000m.

# data[].attributes.body
This squid looks very similar to an umbrella. This squid has the ability to keep itself hidden in this dark zone because of the red color in which it is.

# data[].attributes.body
This eel has a very snake-like mouth shape or that of a pelican. Since the eel is reported to have extremely small eyes which are thought to pick up on very faint lights shining through the water,

# data[].attributes.body
This zone is where most of the ocean is located and it ranges from 4,000m to 6,000m.

# data[].attributes.body
This creature is pink and small. It have two small wings on either side of its head to give it the ability to move really fast at such deep depths. Although this animal is pink it also has the abilty to camouflage to its background.

# data[].attributes.body
Since this zone is so deep there is no light which means less energy. The tripod fish is very slim and has a blue fan above its head. It gets its name because in order to preserve energy the fish needs to wait for fish to come to it when attacking.

# data[].attributes.body
Lastly for these sub-zones is the Hadalpelagic zone which is at a depth from 6,000m- seafloor which is mostly 11000m. This zone also contains trenches which reach past the seafloor. The pressure in this zone can reach up to 8 tons per square inch.

# data[].attributes.body
This fish lives in the darkest part of the ocean and it has two types of biolumenscents, first it crates lights to attract prey and then also it has a red light that allows the fish to see while swimming although being invisible to others.

# data[].attributes.body
The benthic zone is unlike all other zone because it includes the entire seafloor ranging from the intertidal zone to the seafloor and trenches. Includes organisms living inside the seafloor at all different depths.

# data[].attributes.body
The cat fish is a brown grey color with two mustache-like strings below its nose. Since this fish is denser than water it has the ability to rest on the seafloor and wait for its pry to swim above it.

# data[].attributes.body
The lobster is similar to a crab but unlike the crab it does not bury itself rather the lobster blends in with the darkness because of it's red coloring

# data[].attributes.body
Although the octopus needs to conserve its energy except for when it sees danger it can get away quickly by shooting water out of its funnel and swimming away from the lights.
