Processing our deepest ocean floors and otherwise via enormous open-
pit mining is always an option, as long as trashing the environment at
the same time as causing global inflation that's forced upon everyone,
and those plus other unavoidable consequences doesn’t bother you or
anyone else.
but it's more likely that we will continue filling that floor with our own
There's nearly as much or perhaps even twice as much erosion,
sloughing, land-slides and simply loads of solid particulate volume
than melted ice going into the drink. *In other words, oceans will
continually rise even if glacial ice doesn't melt.
Plate tectonics and volcanic activity that's pushing the crust upwards
is another ocean displacement factor.

Not everything that goes into the ocean increases it's volume. See if
you can rationalize that.
