Sodium Chloride is Sodium Chloride.
Honestly, white table salt bears very little resemblance to sea salt. For a start it is made usually from land salt deposits. There are over 1200 different binary compounds in sea water. Many of these (around 20%) do not exist in land based salt deposits.

Land based salt deposits are refined over and over again to remove what they consider impurities, ie all the trace elements, until they are left with almost pure NaCl.

Yes, Sodium Chloride is Sodium Chloride but there is a lot more to Sea Salts than Sodium Chloride.
