The
oceanic zone is divided into three sections. The epipelagic zone, which
is also known as the Daylight zone and receives enough sunlight to
support photosynthesis; the mesopelagic zone, which is also known as the
Twilight zone and only has a scarce amount of light; the bathypelagic,
or Midnight zone which makes up 90% of the ocean and no light penetrates
its boundaries.
The range of animals amongst the three zones is diverse and, especially in the lower zones, quite unusual.
There are three coins in the series each representing a
different zone and featuring the creatures that live in them.
The design on this coin features the Twilight Zone which displays images of a Barreleye fish, a Comb Jelly, a Lantern fish and a Snipe Eel.
