Its because of the excessive solar pumping ( evaporation) and lack of intermixing with the open oceans..thus no further addition of water. the salinity is in the level of 200 ppt whereas in the open oceans its about 30 to 50 ppt. marine life dies because of natural osmotic pressure across the animal skin.
