I'm no expert but first I'm guessing a large proportion of the life in it would die. SInce many freshwater fish cannot life in salt water I have to assume the reverse is true. Secondly, if the salinity was lost the freezing point would be higher so more of it would freeze, perhaps resulting in changes to underwater currents. If there is a grain of truth in the Day After Tomorrow, the loss of heated currents would cause a reduction in global temperature. Shipping lanes would be much more dangerous especially towards the poles. Since more of the ocean is now ice, there would be a change to the major weather fronts, since water could not be evaporated to the same degree, so I'm imagining that hurricanes and the like would be less common, but that there may also be less precipitation as well, which could cause drought in susceptible areas. This is all complete guesswork on my part but since nothing lke this on a grand scale has ever happened (as far as I know) I think that any oceanographer who replied would also have to use guesswork.

Sea creatures would die, the ocean would freeze, the water cycle would be ruined, etc. Quite simply, it would be difficult for earth to function. Though that does sound a bit dramatic, it is true.

Ok, so just have to tell you that I misread this question the first time I looked at it and thought you asked "what would happen if the ocean lost it's sanity?" I'm having one of those days!

well if all of the salinity was taken out of the ocean the mammals that are adapted to the oceans way of life would most likely die. and the teampature would drop the salt helps the oceans temperture stay humid and lets hope none of the salinity is taken from the ocean !!!

All life in the oceans would cease,which would also included some fresh water species of salmon that spawn in fresh water rivers.Since many countries food supply comes from the oceans,maybe half the world's population would die as well.

the currents would stop so would weather think the day after tommorrow
