It's not weird and does make sense; since the sun's huge amount of radiation is dispersed around the world, they are asking if so too might this tiny amount of radiation be dispersed around the ocean. (We should not put down someone for asking questions, learning is good!)
But it's first released in one place where (if it was in dangerous amounts) it would affect the maritime life whereas the sun is distributed from the start.
The concentration at which it is released is already internationally regarded as safe. They aren't dumping a high concentration that, by nature of distribution in the ocean, will eventually reach a safe concentration. They're diluting it to safe levels before they even release it. I'm going to copy part of another comment I made in this thread here:
Here's an IAEA overview as of February 2023,
This release will represent less ocean irradiation than did the operating Fukushima plant.
It's also all released in one place from the sun.... But since the crux of your point seems to be this:
And the answer is "it's not", it's all a bit of a moot point. I just wanted to point out the commenter you said wasn't making sense was indeed making sense since your comment seemed pretty hostile.
