What is the top layer of water farther from shore called?
Beach Zone
Tidal Zone
semimetal zone
limnetic zone
The top layer of water farther from shore is called the limnetic zone. There is enough light for photosynthesis and plenty of dissolved oxygen. However, dissolved nutrients tend not to be as plentiful as they are in the littoral zone. Producers here are mainly phytoplankton. A variety of zooplankton and fish also occupy this zone.
