Sea Spray

Sea spray is a spray of water that forms when ocean waves crash.

Make up

As a result, salt spray contains a high concentration of mineral salts, particularly chloride anions.

Effects

Salt spray is largely responsible for corrosion of metallic objects near the coastline, as the salts accelerate the corrosion process.
