How to Fix - Change the shader to mobile

To fix the shader problem, find the material of the ocean which is in Assets > WaterPlusShader > Materials folder and change its shader to WaterPlus > Mobile Lite. See the screenshots below for exactly what to do

Once changed, if you build and test on mobile, the water will reflect the mobile shader. (Doesn't look as good as the desktop shader - so only do this if you're planning to build a mobile game.)
