Caribbean Seafloor Temperature (⁰C)

Marine life have certain thresholds for temperature that they can live in. For instance, deep-water corals have been recorded in temperatures of -1⁰C. Seafloor temperatures generally decrease with increasing depth.  Source: Marine Conservation Institute (MCI)Citation: Boyer TP, Levitus S, Garcia HE, Locamini RA, Stephens C, et al.
