If we push the borders of every country into the ocean, by creating essentially a land moat hundreds of miles out and keeping the bodies of water fairly separate, we could improve the natural rotation of the ocean, while also creating massive fresh water reservoirs. with strips in between the moat and the shore, we could segment the salt levels to be less and less accordingly. This could help with Habbitat reformation, water sanitation, and would ensure the broken walls of this moat would only let in a stage less salty water in catastrophes. it could naturally cycle to be more and less salty as needed. brachish water can also help species adapt over time. we could help species move from salt to fresh water in this way if needed for survival from a fungus or bacteria for example, having the fish built to survive in any salt content within reason is important and possible, look at salmon.
