Technical series / Intergovernmental Oceanographic CommissionSummary: This report presents a biogeographic classification for global open ocean and deep sea areas (GOODS). A new biogeographic classification of the worldgass oceans has been developed which includes pelagic waters subdivided into 30 provinces as well as benthic areas subdivided into three large depth zones consisting of 38 provinces (14 bathyal, 14 abyssal and 10 hadal). In addition, 10 hydrothermal vent provinces have been delineated. This classification has been produced by a multidisciplinary scientific expert group, who started this task at the workshop in Mexico City in January 2007. It represents the first attempt at comprehensively classifying the open ocean and deep seafloor into distinct biogeographic regions. The classification is displayed in figures 1 (pelagic), 7, 8, 9 (benthic) and 10 (hydrothermal vents).
