Obviously if we put live electricity in the sea, the whole ocean wouldn’t then become dangerous with it. At what point does the electricity stop? What stops it?

In seawater the voltage gradient around electrodes displayed within a short distance, so the dangerous area is very close to the energized electrode or the spot the lightening strike the water.
In freshwater, the voltage gradient extends further and a human body in the gradient becomes a lower resistant path for electricity, so
Electricity in fresh water is more dangerous to people in the fresh water with the electricity.
