	Comparison of Primary Productivity and Nutrient Characteristics in the Sulu Sea and South China Sea
		The Sulu Sea is an adjacent smaller marginal basin that is interconnected with the SCS by a topographic sill (Mindoro Strait).
		The uniform behavior of water signatures (temperature, salinity, nutrients) in the Sulu Sea may be attributed to the presence of a 400 m deep sill that separates the marginal basins.
		While the near-surface circulation is mainly governed by the seasonally reversing monsoon winds, the deep circulation in the Sulu Sea is forced by an inflow of intermediate water from the SCS through the Mindoro Strait that supplies its intermediate and bottom waters (Wyrtki, 1961).

		The basement underlying the Sulu Sea is composed of olivine basalts, possibly transitional between MORB and island arc tholeiites.
		The sea formed in the late early to early middle Miocene, almost concurrent with cessation of volcanism on the Cagayan Ridge.
