Salt spray refers to tiny droplets of seawater that are lifted into the air by wind and waves. This phenomenon occurs primarily in coastal areas, where strong winds can carry the salty water far inland. The droplets can contain various minerals and organic materials, which can affect local ecosystems and weather patterns. Salt spray can also have significant impacts on human-made structures. The salt in the spray can corrode metals and damage paint, leading to increased maintenance costs for buildings, vehicles, and other infrastructure. Understanding salt spray is important for coastal management and protecting both natural and built environments from its effects.
