the advice i need is what wireless camera would be suitable to put up
so that i can view on my tv.

I get this kind of question all the time.

Do you really, really need real-time view of YOUR ocean?
NO?
Take a few snapshots and make a slideshow screensaver.
Or log into one of the zillion webcams available around
the world.

YES?

Where are you gonna put this camera?
Does it really need to be wireless?
How are you gonna power it?
How are you gonna clean off the sea-salt
and seagull crap?
How are you gonna keep the sun from ruining
the sensor?

If you have a place to legally install it and
power it, there are cameras that can do this.
But you won't like the price. And 300 meters is
a bit much for anything in the license-free consumer
grade category.
They ain't the
ones you get at best-buy.
Look into traffic control cameras like the ones you
see mounted at traffic lights.

Best advice I can give you is to wait longer than your
attention span.
The urge will subside and you can move on to another project.
