ratio of D2 to H2 in gaseous hydrogen: 1 in 5400 (NIST) ratio of deuterium to hydrogen in sea water: 1 in 6400 (wikipedia) with only slight variations between most natural waters. Hmmm, close enough to be a cause/effect relationship?

There is always the natural abundance of D2 in ordinary H2. It is 1 part in 5,400 according to NIST. You would have to go to a lot of trouble to remove it. - Jed
