Is seawater alkali?
Yes, if perhaps you mean "alkaline" or "base"? According to Wikipedia, "Seawater pH is limited to the range 7.5 to 8.4.", making it slightly base or alkaline. Alkali refers to a chemical that is an alkaline salt soluble in water.

What is the dh of the sea water?
'dh' is an unknown property of seawater. If pH (measured value for acidity) is asked for: Seawater pH is limited to the range 7.5 and 8.4: ranging from neutral (7.0) to slightly alkaline (9.0), not acidic.
How might a lowering of the pH of seawater affect the abundance of calcareous sediment on the seafloor?
Lowering the pH to less alkaline and more acidic levels would cause more calcareous materials to dissolve in seawater thereby reducing the abundance of calcareous sediment on the seafloor.
