Mason brand lids meant for canning are steel and will rust quickly in a saltwater environment. The inside surface is coated and somewhat durable but the outside is pretty weak.

That said there's an entire aftermarket for Mason-style jars, and lots of places online where you can get all-plastic replacement lids that would work just fine.
