Sea Elves are an off-shoot of the Elves from Alfheim, that have took to living in large bodies of water. Oceans & seas are common, and they dwell there quite peacefully. The Sahuagin are mortal enemies as they are diametrically opposed to them.   As a species, these elves originated from Alfheim before spreading out through the Material Plane, initially through the Germanic regions of Earth. From there, a number made contact with other kinds of elves who had entered the Feywild, and reached other worlds through there. They seem to be closely related to Wood Elves, appearing as an aquatic version of them, but some members of their societies mimic High Elves too. Rarely if ever do they show any connection to the Black Elves, and Svartalfheim.
