Abstract
It is essential to define at the outset those aspects of a system that influence chemical species. In marine and estuarine environments we recognize a variety of important phases such as the aqueous, colloidal, particulate, and biological components of the system. Each of these will have distinctive properties that influence the molecular form of its constituents. A variety of criteria are available to identify these phases in oceans, coastal regions, and estuaries.
