You make that sound like it isn’t an issue. Massive ocean die-offs in a localized area is still a very bad thing.
There’s a reason why oil spills are treated with such seriousness. Globally, an oil spill is also not a problem.

It depends on how local we’re talking about. If you build a pipe out of the littoral zone with multiple outputs you likely wouldn’t kill much of anything but a few plankton. The intake pipe is often worse than the output pipe for wildlife.

Are you trying to spell literal? Not trying to be a dick, just unsure if you have a different word in mind.

“Littoral” is effectively equivalent to “nearshore”. Makes sense as written.

I misspelled straight, but I was referring to the shallows that contain the vast majority of ocean life due to ease of photosynthesis.
