Locations of disseminated (nonphosphorite) authigenic CFA occurrence, as well as locations of phosphorites. Areas with substantial phosphorite deposits include the East China Sea between Korea and Japan, Ceara Rise, Saanich Inlet, eastern and western equatorial Pacific, California Borderland Basins, Gulf of St. Lawrence, Labrador Sea, Long Island Sound, Gulf of Mexico, North Atlantic continental platform, and Iberian margin in the northeastern Atlantic.

Worldwide cultural eutrophication is most commonly seen in marginal seas and bays. In Europe, observations since the 1950s have documented increased cultural eutrophication in the North, Baltic, Adriatic, Irish, Mediterranean, Black, and Kattegat Seas. In the United States, cultural eutrophication hot spots include the Gulf of Mexico, Chesapeake Bay, Long Island Sound, Narragansett Bay, Florida Bay, and Tampa Bay. In most of these locales, cultural eutrophication has progressed such that hypoxia is now a seasonal or persistent feature.

In natural environments, abiotic reduction may also be effected by a range of natural reductants including sulphide and methane. In the sulphide producing sediments in the Long Island Sound and the Mississippi Delta, for example, Fe oxides have been transformed to Fe sulphides (FeS and FeS2) (Canfield Berner, 1987 Boesen Postma, 1988). As a result, when there was a sufficient supply of reactive Fe oxides in the sediments, hardly any dissolved sulphide was found in the pore water. The reduci-...
