I would like to know if it’s possible for someone to buy seed for Sea Isle 1 Seashore Paspalum?

To the best of my knowledge, Paspalum vaginatum has not been reported to produce seed. And even if it did, there are serious genetic problems in using seed of turfgrass types that are normally propagated vegetatively. The problems involve among other things inbreeding depression.

I’m not saying that it is impossible, but that there are better reasons to stay with vegetative cuttings to propagate a grass like Sea Isle 1.
