why not get a pipe from the bottom of the ocean to space and pump water into space to save the sea level rising. a few boats aint gonna help

Yes it would. Since the boats are made up of matter, and matter occupies space, if that matter were removed, water would replace the vacancy resulting in a total lowering of the ocean.
That being said, depending on the number of boats the result would be very small. There isn't an effective way to measure the drop as sea levels change so often with the tides, plus with the melting of glaciers the sea level is slowly rising and any drop may not go unnoticed with the greater rate of inflow, as well as the constant erosion from beaches, slowly filling the ocean with sand, and the constant shifting of the tectonic plates changing the capacity of the ocean. So theoretically and by the laws of physics, if you took the ocean in a static state, and that being the only affect you made (i.e. no water coming in), it would indeed go down.

I do not think there are that many sunken boats in the world.What is their density compared with the oceans'?It would go down , but an equal amount spread out through the globe.I don't think it would be measurable though,being such a small amount.

actually, when a ship sinks, the reason it doesnt implode (as any object would if it went down far enough) is that the water enters the space inside the ship. now this does cause some displacement with the ship/water, but its not really that significant becos of what the others have stated with the rainfall and other factors.

Only if you got rid of all the sponges at the bottom of the sea.

Its the boats and ships that sail on top that displace the water, the ones that are sunk are usually full of water so there's not that much displacement !!

That depends if you mean "wud" or "would"? What if we all drive our cars into the sea, wud it go up?

sure would,but it would fill back up with the water from melting glaciers,so would the salinity of the ocean decrease,just think new orleans would be at sea level,not below

umm....the ocean is so massive, and with the rainfall and the evaporation and the tides coming in and out it wouldn't go down or up even a fraction of a decimal of a percent.

maybe, it might rain in one parto ft he worldmaking the Sea go up more? or an ice berg might fallinto the sea at the same time?
