AFAIK, OpenSeaMap is dedicated rendering based on the same OpenStreetMap database as the map of e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org The OpenSeaMap project also defines certain tags that are only used for navigation on water. See [1] for more info on how it works.
So on one hand they are already combined (use the same database), but they are also separate (OpenSeaMap provides their own rendering of the data). regards m.
