Apparently the special red paint on the bottom of every single boat is toxic to the ocean. Also, lots of boats have their exhaust systems pumped directly into the ocean.

Also, I heard that if you dumped a lot of iron dust into the ocean it would create algae blooms and eventually help it take up more carbon. So whilst it would initially be destabilising it could do good in the long term.

I think you fall to understand how big the ocean is. Boat antifouling paint isn't going to have much effect, the small boats that have coming seawater in their exhaust (they don't exhaust into the water, that would add too much back pressure)

We have acidified the ocean with all the combustion engines in the whole world, but that didn't require going out on the ocean
