Well there's several benefits and one AI disadvantage from owning even a sea province without population and magic sites:

1) Temple for dominion
2) Sometimes provides faster movement to other provinces which may otherwise take 5+ more extra turns and not effectively utilized by the AI.
3) PopType should be set to nothing for preventing recruiting of any units otherwise the AI might waste its money on aquatic units.
