No ocean does.
The Pacific Ocean is the nearest ocean to Salt Lake City, Utah.
Ocean energy requires an ocean.
Nevada is directly to the west of Utah...so it's closer to the Pacific Ocean.
Utah is landlocked. Alaska and Massachusetts border an ocean.
Oregon is farthest west, in fact, it lies next to the Pacific Ocean. Utah is inland near the rocky mountains.
The farthest state from Utah in the US is Hawaii. This is because Hawaii is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, approximately 2,900 miles away from Utah. The distance between Utah and other states such as California, New York, or Florida is much shorter in comparison to the distance between Utah and Hawaii.
I assume you mean travel to Utah when they were forced out of Illinois in 1846. Those that were in Illinois did not travel by ocean, as it would be an extremely round-about way to get to Utah. There were many from the British Isles that were converted to mormonism by missionaries that of course traveled across the ocean to the U.S. to join with the other members. Most, though, traveled up either the Mississippi or Missouri rivers to join with the other members and then traveled across the plains to Utah.

wind erosinon can be a problem in Utah and Colorado and Washington but not in any states but the ocean
No, Salt Lake City is in Utah, and Utah isn't close to any oceans. But it borders California, and the Pacific Ocean is right next to California.
There are many states that don't border an ocean. Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, and Nevada, just to name a few.
