Most metals are not in any economic concentrations in seawater. The only exceptions are sodium and magnesium. A company did start up trying to extract lithium from seawater but it went bust but the technology will certainly be looked at again when lithium is needed in large amounts for making batteries. Bioengineering technology may be used in the future to get bacteria and algae to concentrate metals from seawater.
