Definitely something needing consideration. Currently reverse osmosis plants are pumping super saline water out. I haven't looked too closely at how much damage they're doing. I've heard it's a problem they're trying to address

I also know ice cap melting is reducing salinity in other areas, which effects tempurature absorption and currents.
