chemosynthesis instead of photo?

- Where you can find an abundance of phytoplankton?

Which zone is it?- Also known as the shoreline?- Has extremely high

pressure?- Would be best explored in a

submarine or using SONAR?- Is greatly impacted by tidal

movement?- Could be explored without

any technology?- Best explored with scuba

gear?
