The photic zone extends roughly 200 meters below the ocean's surface, forming the base for countless marine ecosystems. But a recent study published in Global Change Biology shows alarming changes.

The ocean might be deep and mysterious, but not all of its life is bathed in darkness.Close to 90% of marine ecosystems exist in the ocean's so-called "photic zone," or upper 200 meters (656 feet ...

Darkening of ocean facilitated the decrease of photic zone depth in several water bodies that could have serious consequences, according to researchers. advertisement. Front Page Detectives.

Satellite data reveals 21% of oceans have darkened, affecting photic zones and marine life. Researchers warn of severe effects on global marine life and ecosystems.

Between 2003 and 2022, roughly 30 million square miles of ocean saw photic zones darken. That’s the same size as Europe, Africa, China and North America’s land areas combined.
