Salinity is reduced in regions where there is high freshwater inflow, as in the mouths of rivers or near glacier melt. It is higher in regions where the is greater evaporation. If I recall correctly, the Mediterranean Sea has higher salinity than the other world's seas and oceans because of limited freshwater inflow, and limited communication with the Atlantic because of the Gibralter Strait. Here's a brief report on what's been going on in the Med with regard to salinity. Interesting to note the speculation on Canadian climate.
Climate affects everything.
