Does its remoteness imply that there are not enough nutrients in the water for wildlife to survive?

@helenS I had that thought too. Turns out it's known as the "deadest spot in the ocean." Almost devoid of animal life.

@Ynotisay I'm pretty sure if [i]my[/i] ship sank, it would sink right there.

@Ynotisay ... and through the storms in all their thundering, my ship will sail, and will not sink!

@helenS The Point Nemo Mantra. 👍
