Ocean Water Freezing
Yes, ice can form in ocean water. However, it must be colder than 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
The salt in the ocean water inhibits freezing and makes ocean water freeze at a colder temperature than fresh water.
In fact, it must be approximately -2 degrees Celsius (or 31 degrees Fahrenheit) for most ocean water to freeze if it is perfectly still. If the water is rough or moving, it must be colder.
