Hi Foom (Go QT3!).

The difference between freshwater and seawater is that Freshwater is a land province designation, meaning it's a lake/river/coast type of situation. It changes the variables of population as well as marks the province for the flooding (bad event) as a possibility.

Seawater on the other hand marks it as a sea, requiring water breathing to enter it.

Applying farmlands doesn't seem to do anything to a Sea province (I could be wrong) but it would theoretically lower the provinces chance of Magical Sites and increase the population, but like I said, it doesn't seem to work for sea provinces. The best way to create a decently populated sea province is to use "Large" in combination with it.

Side Note: I have a redone Version of the Map (Less Tampax-like province lines) and a modified .map file in the works (I just need to dedicate an hour or so to redo it for MP balance) I could provide that one for you if you'd rather.
