Can Sea-Snakes salt filtering glands aid in research to find more ways to convert salt water to drinkable wate?

Just wondered. Was doing some animal research for a kids' book and noticed some sea animals have these strange "salt glands" that I gather act as filters. Thought the chemistry of these might be useful - though I am sure scientists are on top of it. Anyone know anything about this? I think it's so weird that saltwater is hard to filter into drinking water.
