Measurement of the silica flux through the Straits of Gibraltar shows a loss of 3.6 × 10 3 moles/second. Estimated influx from rivers and the Black Sea is 3.9 × 10 3 moles/sec. Apparently no substantial fraction of dissolved silica is lost as the rivers flow into the sea, nor from the water in the sea. Latest flow measurements at Gibraltar suggest a residence time of 170 yr for water in the sea. Diversion of Nile River water--8 % of the total silica input--should have no measurable effect on the silica concentration of the Mediterranean for a long time.
