Could you tell me if more Salt consists at the top of the water in the ocean 
or if it is equal throughout. My debate is that I believe that more salt 
will be closer to the top of the ocean vs the bottom due to the extreme 
pressure at the bottom. Any info on this matter would be greatly 
appreciated. We work for a Marina and got into a heated debate on this 
issue. Thank You for taking the time to read this.
