Nah, I don't think it would be that bad. A series of seas maybe 100-200 feet deep in an area roughly the scope of the map I showed above would probably do the trick. After all, that's a huge area.

Plus, those landlocked nations in north Africa would no longer be landlocked. You could fill the seas with reefs and other nifty stuff for sea life, and you'd have opportunities for new metropolises all along the new coastlines.

I guess it would probably also be practical to redraw some national boundaries, depending on exactly where you made the new seas.
