The ocean has a higher buffering capacity than rivers and lakes. This is due to the amount of dissolved inorganic carbon found in the ocean. This makes the ocean less prone to large pH swings when acids or bases are added whether it be from sewage outfalls or acid rain. Information can be found in the section The Ocean's Acid-Base Balance Varies with Dissolved Components and Depth.
