Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 998/938=B/1430)

The sea water is exceedingly maa-e-katheer (abundant water), such a water is considered as maa-e-jaari (flowing). In spite of not flowing it carries the ruling of the flowing rivers; therefore undoubtedly its water is tahir (clean and pure), one can perform wudhu and ghusl using the same. You should not fall in any doubt.
