Their bodies are adapted to having a certain level of several salts--actually ions--in their environment.
They have the ability to function in environments with a high salt content, maintaining a proper ion balance consumes quite a bit of energy (used to run molecular pumps). Basically, their waste products will have a high salt content.
With freshwater critters, there can be a lack of salt, in which their diet supplies the necessary amount.

What types of plants die in salt water?

Do plants like salt or sugar water?
Sugar water has some of the nutrients that is important in a plants life cycle. On the other hand, salt water, actually slowly kills the plant, therefore it has no nutrients that the plant absorbs and needs for a healthy lifestyle. But overall, tap water or filtered water are very good for a plant!
Will salt harm your plants?
Yes, too much salt can harm plants by drawing water out of their roots through osmosis. This can lead to dehydration and nutrient imbalances. It's important to monitor salt levels in soil to prevent damage to plants.

Some plants, called halophytes, have adaptations that allow them to thrive in saline environments, but these are the exception rather than the rule.
