I'll admit that the logical conclusion of desalination or open-ocean-rainwater collection, which would be the greening of all deserts on earth, might possibly fuck with the ocean. Because 1% saltier is still 1% saltier.
However, it's still possible to make huge changes while having little effect on the ocean. A rainwater harvesting dam on the Bohai Sea, used to green an area the size of the UK, would have little effect on the worlds ocean overall.
Fun fact: if the US spent as much %GDP as Saudi Arabia on desalination, an entire new Colorado River could be created
