How to use seawater in a sentence?

1. Ian Hewson:

   There are 10 million viruses in a drop of seawater, so discovering the virus associated with a marine disease can be like looking for a needle in a haystack, Not only is this an important discovery of a virus involved in a mass mortality of marine invertebrates, but this is also the first virus described in a sea star.

2. Robert Mace:

   We've certainly spent a lot of time looking at what Tampa Bay has done in Florida with their seawater desal project, and then we're certainly looking very closely at that project that San Diego has for water supply.

3. Andrew Scott:

   Seawater is 800 times the density of wind, so the flow speeds are far slower, but they generate far more energy.

4. Saeed Alhassan Alkhazraji:

   We have to accept the fact that seawater should be a key player in providing freshwater, but we need to have a solution that will minimize CO2 emissions and eliminate brine altogether.

5. Catherine Bradshaw:

   Rain ultimately flows back to sea, and because it is freshwater rather than saltwater, it is less dense than the seawater it is draining into, this means it can form a cap at the surface rather than sinking and circulating.
