    I am not trying to save the oceans because i like to swim in them, i am suggesting we tap this resource with our desalination plants, but, we need to clean them too. they are full of sewerage and nuclear waste and oil! this shouldn't take that long, but there is a lot to do.

    To clear the sewerage, we should breed prawns and lobsters. they should be made to mate young to boost the numbers and then we should make so many that there is no market for them here on the land as food. we could also use chemicals like acids to pour on them or just 'throw' at them.

    I have already shown how we could use sponge like chemical 'creatures' to absorb all the oil, and then they float to the top of the oceans, of course, long ago. this was around the time of the tweenies oil spill off of mexico.

    To get rid of all the nuclear waste, well, we could first re-master radiation cleanups. these could be done by observing that radiation like this is always gamma radiation, and, they give this off for a long time. needless to say, it will be diluted in the oceans, but it might be a problem for fish schools and other life down there. i would suggest that these are also 'absorbed' by 'wood' like structures, maybe old unusable ship wrecks? wood is a earth component that is very into absorbing water, and the radiation will probably stay in the wood while we haul it out. i think i have the right idea, but maybe wood is not the answer?

    So, for the radiation, we should use whale and fish carcasses, and wrap them around the 'fall out' to absorb the radiation. they may become black and scarred and stuff, but then, hey, wait a minute! we could wrap them in sewerage! that is biomass and will absorb the fall out easily! maybe we could dump air line waste on there, or even move the fall out vats to the sewerage areas?

    NASA Chief: 'Still Time' to Heed Ominous Sea Level Rise Data
    August 28, 2015 — The administrator of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) says attention must be paid to new data forecasting an approximately one meter rise in sea levels by the turn of the century. “It sounds definitive and ominous because that’s the way nature works,” Charles Bolden Jr. told VOA Friday in Bangkok.

    Saving the oceans from rubbish is next on the agenda. so, how do we stop rubbish from collecting out at sea, harming animals and things?

    Well, maybe we could observe that most of the rubbish in the oceans comes from the actual beaches, and not out at sea. simply put, we could put rubbish far up the beach, and the tide will not reach it. the first thing that needs to happen is less rubbish low on the beach sand. this can be stopped by beach buggies with spikes on their tires to pick it all up quickly, yes?

    Now, the rubbish out at sea is another thing. it scatters far and wide, so, if there was a way to get it all into one place, we could look to the 'tides,' yes? if we were to manipulate the currents, we could make them all settle in the same place to be hoisted out by nets, of course. then there will be no problems with sea gulls getting their beaks stuck in the plastic stuff out there. all rubbish lands up on the beach somewhere, eventually. say after like a few years, there will be much less, if at all, if the buggies keep rolling.

    Scientists: Warming Oceans Could Scupper Marine Food System
    January 09, 2018 — Failure to rein in global temperature rises could cause the marine food web to collapse, devastating the livelihoods of tens of millions of people who rely on fisheries for food and income, scientists have warned.

    The world's population is around 7,500,000,000 and Earth's total area (including land and water) is 510,000,000 square kilometers (197,000,000 sq. mi.). Therefore, the worldwide human population density is around 7,500,000,000 ÷ 510,000,000 = 14.7 per km2 (38 per sq. mi). If only the Earth's land area of 150,000,000 km2(58,000,000 sq. mi.) is taken into account, then human population density increases to 50 per km2 (129 per sq. mile). This includes all continental and island land area, including Antarctica. If Antarctica is also excluded, then population density rises to over 55 people per km2 (over 142 per sq. mile). However, over half of the Earth's land mass consists of areas inhospitable to human habitation, such as deserts and high mountains, and population tends to cluster around seaports and fresh-water sources.

    With rising world population, and considering the oceans are a finite resource, how is it possible to 'save' the oceans? How much food remains in the oceans? How much waste flows into the oceans? How is climate change effecting the oceans? Seems to me it's a self-fulfilling prophecy that an over-populated planet, given time, will destroy the atmosphere and the oceans and lakes/streams, rendering Earth pretty much useless for humans...
