Salt water is more dense than fresh water. A ship would float higher at sea, and lower on a fresh water inland lake.

Why does a perspex block sink in fresh water but floats in salty water?

A perspex block sinks in fresh water because it is denser than the water. In salty water, the added salt increases the water's density, causing the perspex block to float. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where an object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is in.
