There's this kid who figured out a solid state device that boils water to steam when the sun shines on it. (It's a flat, thin layer of a black foam-like material.) I'll try to dig up a link... Anyway, you could mass produce these and float them in the ocean. The idea is that they would add moisture to the atmosphere which then carries it inland, rains, etc... I have no idea if it would work.

sea water already evaporates readily, though. its part of the water cycle!

  Yah, that's why I think this might be a good idea (or at least not as terrible as some other ideas): it's just turning up the knob a little bit on a process that's already occurring naturally.
