    Those are going to be some long as spipes indeed if you want to pump brine out without salt spots.

      quite true, although we already have long ass pipes/cables in the ocean for phone/internet connections between continents. So it’s entirely doable, and is already being done for another purpose besides salt.

      Yeah. It may be “simple” but it’s not going to be cheap. I still think it’ll be cheaper than dedicating huge swaths of coastal land to become brine-drying fields, though.
