Brine can be transported to different parts of the ocean? It’s a massive bodie of water. Widespread adoption would have to be massive as well to see significant increases in molar concentration.
Salinity doesn’t really work like that. You can’t just dump a bunch of brine and expect it to just mix with the rest of the seawater. A lot of that depends on temperature, currents, etc. You might just end up forming a brine lake in the ocean if the brine just so happens to end up at the bottom without ever mixing. Not to mention brine isn’t always just concentrated salt and water. It can include byproducts from desalination.
gotta do something with the brine

where exactly? what do you want to kill and pollute? what area deserves it?
We are talking about humanity here, we will pump the brine into tapped out oil and gas holes and end up salting the aquifers.
