<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif;color:black">It’s dark. It’s vast. And it’s the home of countless creatures that are as strange as they are mesmerizing, but they are all uniquely adapted
to life at the very limit of sunlight in the ocean. The twilight zone is a critical part of our ocean—yet because it is so remote and inhospitable to humans, scientists have not yet been able to study it in detail. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's (WHOI)
Ocean Twilight Zone Project is on a mission to expand knowledge of the zone: to discover more about its creatures, their behavior, their place in global food webs, and the important role they play in regulating Earth’s climate. </span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
