Oceanic Seawater

Seawater is a naturally occurring resource that covers approximately 71% of the Earth's surface. It is not a manufactured product in the traditional sense, though it is often harvested and processed for various industrial, culinary, and scientific purposes. The chemical composition of seawater is relatively consistent globally, characterized by a salinity of roughly 3.5%, primarily consisting of sodium chloride along with other dissolved minerals like magnesium, sulfate, and calcium.

Because seawater is a global common resource, it does not have a single brand origin or ultimate owner company. While specific commercial products such as bottled 'Deep Sea Water' or sea salt brands exist, the raw material itself belongs to the global maritime environment, governed by international maritime law and the sovereignty of coastal nations within their Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs). Manufacturing locations for processed seawater products are distributed worldwide, ranging from desalination plants in the Middle East to sea salt evaporation ponds in the Mediterranean and harvested deep-sea sources near Japan and Hawaii.
