Ocean return path? Please say more.
I picture a gigantic carbon electrode stuck in the ocean by a power station - rather like the core of a really large "D" cell.
That sounds like a recipe for excitement - DC current into seawater should generate hydrogen on one and and oxygen on the other electrode. At 3000 amps, rather a lot of it.
As for monitoring 60 Hz, I was doing some on line research, and found some interesting power line frequency meters at:

Surprisingly affordable (less than $300).
