A marine biologist is researching four stony coral species in Caribbean and Indo-Pacific waters. The biologist classifies the water column into two zones based on depth below the surface: the shallow zone (less than 30 meters) and the mesophotic zone (30 meters or more). To study a group whose every recorded sighting falls entirely within the shallow zone, the biologist should focus on sightings of species found in __________

Caribbean waters in the shallow zone.

Caribbean waters in the mesophotic zone.

Indo-Pacific waters in the shallow zone.
