The salt water of the ocean's is 35 parts per thousand (ppt); most of the Gulf of Mexico averages 28 to 32 ppt. However, some areas of the Gulf of Mexico average 36 ppt.
I would call that salt water.

The salinity of the Gulf varies considerably because of the large amount of fresh water that flows into it from the Mississippi. You might check the USGS site to see whether they have any data on the relative salinity of different regions of the Gulf.
