The sea has a certain density in various parts of the world.If the salt water that is added is lighter than the sea then it will obviousle dilute it . If it is denser than the sea it will concentrate it and if it is the same density it would do nothing.

The old professor says:....and it makes for a great pH buffer to neutralize all the acids and bases that are put into the oceans by man and nature...thereby making it possible for many creatures to survive.
It changes freezing and melting temperatures of the water...which accounts for the sizes of the polar ice caps.
