The Biospheric Ocean

The ocean is one of the five biomes within Biosphere 2.  The others are:  rainforest, savannah, desert, and marsh.  This view down onto the ocean shows a rowboat pulled onto the beach.


The ocean is a million gallons of saltwater, complete with fish and coral reef.  The beach in the foreground was a favorite picnic spot for the Biospherians.  The marsh is in the background.



The rainforest is at the top of the cliff.
