as you say a 'seawater' smell I would not suspect an electrical prob that would be a burning smell.

Lift out your front car mats and feel the carpet in the front foot wells
you will probably find them either wet or damp and smelly.

Now you have to trace where it is coming from. If the engine isnt using any water then I would suspect rain water ingress.
If engine is using water then the heater matrix may be leaking.
