The first law of thermodynamic show that heat transfer is equal to work.But he does not give the direction as that system is consuming work or doing work.

Whereas the second law of thermodynamic give the direction as (1) Heat can flow naturally from high temperature to low temperature.When heat is flowing from high temperature to low temperature he can produce work.(2)Heat can not flow naturally from low temperature to high temperature.for flowing heat from low temperature to high temperature he consume work.

Second law of thermodynamic not only give the direction of heat flow but he also show entropy and quality of energy as high grade energy (mechanical work ) and low grade energy (heat).

The first law is about conservation of energy, the second is about the conservation of entropy.

Why can't the pressure of seawater at different depths generate electricity?

Quite simply, that would violate the First Law of Thermodynamics, or the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The pressure difference is caused by the weight of the water above it, and it is an equilibrium situation.
