This depends on the organisms, but many things that live in the sea breathe through gills. There is oxygen in the water so they take in water and they will diffuse the oxygen out of the water into their cells.

Sea stars breathe through a unique water vascular system, which is not involved in respiration like in most animals. They use tube feet to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide through their thin skin in a process called dermal branchiae. This allows them to exchange gases with the surrounding water.
