Description Nutrients showed enrichment in the surface microlayer compared to those in sub-surface water and there was a decreasing trend in the enrichment factor from nearshore to offshore in Northern Arabian Sea. The nutrient concentrations were correlated with Chlorophyll values at 1 m depth. Relatively high enrichment factors, sea-surface microlayer (SML), in coastal waters could be attributed to the influence of freshwater carrying considerable quantities of nutrients into the sea either from land runoff or from the industrial and domestic wastewater discharges. The interrelationships and the possible mechanisms causing the accumulation of nutrients at sea surface are discussed
