The benthic zone begins at the edge of the sea at the intertidal zone, extends out along the continental shelf, and continues down the continental slope to the abyssal plain, thousands of meters below sea level.
Overview. Benthic habitats cover about 70% of the earth surface. Of the marine species, 98% live on or in the ocean floor. The benthic zone maintains a substantial part of the worldâs biodiversity.However not all of the benthic habitats are equally susceptible to alien species invasion.f all marine species, 98% live on or in the ocean floor. These organisms are called benthos, or bottom dwellers. There are those called infauna that live buried in the sand, shells or mud.
