A shelf sea is a relatively shallow water area formed by the continental shelf.
The continental shelf typically has the most shallow water on the ocean floor. This is the submerged edge of a continent that extends from the shoreline to a steeper drop-off point called the continental slope. The shallow waters of the continental shelf are important for marine life and are commonly where coastal communities are located.

The shallow extension of the continent that extends beyond the shoreline is called a continental shelf. It is the submerged part of a continent that extends from the shoreline to a drop-off point called the shelf break.
