What is the environmental impact of extracting salt from the sea?

The amount of salt extracted from the sea water is insufficient to have any significant environmental impact, and present rates of extraction are nowhere near high enough to cause one.
Ocean salinity is the result of cyclical process that began when the first drop of water became part of planet Earth. The extraction of salt from the sea, just adds another step to this cycle.
The oceans naturally vary in salinity from about 3.1 - 3.8 %, due to river inflows, localized precipitation rates, ocean currents, up-wellings, and other causes. These natural variations are much larger than present rates of extraction can possibly cause, even in areas close to extraction operations.
