saltwater
The sea's composition
Saltwater is water with a high salt content, especially seawater.
As an adjective, it distinguishes ocean-dwelling creatures from their freshwater counterparts: saltwater fish, saltwater crocodile.
A saltwater taffy is a chewy candy associated with seaside boardwalks—the name evokes coastal origins rather than actual ingredients.
