"THE CTENOPHORA, THE WALKING FISH, the shoal of glittering squids, the vertical feeders—all seem to me like outlandish rarities, but in fact they represent the norm here. The bathypelagic and the sunless depths below house 85 percent of the ocean’s life, the largest living space on the planet. There are an estimated 30 million undiscovered species in the ocean but only 1.4 million known species on land. The largest animal communities on the planet and greatest number of individuals live below three thousand feet." - James Nestor
