Well sea-90 is dried sea water, does contain sodium chloride (salt).

"Sea-90 is dehydrated seawater in its purest state containing only 75-80 percent sodium chloride"

The powder is used at 1 tsp to 1 gallon of water. So that might be a good ballpark area of skimmate to water ratio to start with.

Also.. probably best to not use skimmate as a foliage spray due to the possibility of bad (for your health) microbes.

Probably not worse than farmers spraying liquid cow poop all over the fields
 
Salt water is a good way to kill weeds, so I’d first try this out on a plant you don’t really like to know if this is good fertilizer or weed killer.
 
Chloride is fatal for most plants - it takes up chloride instead of nitrate. Chloride is also accumulating in soils by time if its not washed away with rain. This is the reason why farmland in dry areas (read - land bodies that need constant irrigation from river, lakes or underground water sources) with time have a risk to be unusable for cultivation,
