A scientific term referring to the upper oceanic zone or region of the sea that receives light; also called the euphotic zone.
From Greek 'aglaos' (bright, shining) and 'zona' (zone or band). Named to describe the sunlit upper region of the ocean where light penetrates and photosynthesis occurs.
The aglaozonia might sound obscure, but it contains the entire foundation of oceanic life—algae and plankton in this zone produce about half the world's oxygen and form the base of the food chain that feeds us all.
