Question

why are Continental shelves important?

Answer 1

From a biological standpoint, continental shelves are extremely important because they are much shallower than the rest of the ocean. This means that there is enough light penetrating to the bottom of the ocean for primary production (plant growth) to be associated with the bottom, and not just the water column.
