the salt in the water breaks up the crystalsrequired to make the ocean t freeze

Another answer:

Oceans freeze, but at a lower temperature than pure water, because of the mineral content of ocean water. The freezing point of ocean water may be 27 or 28 degrees F., depending on the mineral content.

The Antarctic continent, for example, practically doubles in size during the austral winter, based in the oceans that surround the continent freezing. The polar ice cap in the northern hemisphere is composed totally of frozen sea water.
