"The ocean water volume obviously is enormous. "

Sure. But it wouldn't immediately disperse throughout the whole water column. That takes time. Like millenia. So most is going to be concentrated in the upper few meters. Which, oddly enough, is where most of the biomass is.

"And wouldn't that be beneficial in our days of cutting down the rain forests?"

Replacing forests with grasslands or crops isn't going to be compensated for much by increasing CO2. Trees sequester a lot more carbon per unit area than the alternatives.
