Truth be told, I wish there'd been another reason for Ariel and Eric choosing to separate Melody from the sea and her heritage.
Personally, I think growing human/mermaid conflicts would've been a good idea. Ariel's given a choice ultimatum that she can either stay human or become a mermaid, by her family. Ariel makes the choice to stay human, and then becomes more estranged from the sea until she decides that mermaid/human relationships are a hopeless cause, and just decides to completely close off the mermaid part of her life.
And that's why Melody isn't allowed to go back to sea, and knows nothing about her own family. And when she goes to the sea she learns a lot about the situation, and reunites the estranged parts of her family and reconciles humans and mermaids.
I like that! Basically like the 2023 remake. It also sounds like Emily Windsnap, where the title character has to reunite her family who were separated by human-mermaid tensions.
And adding to your idea, maybe Morgana is turning humans and merpeople against each other. That could be her ultimate revenge against Triton. Maybe instead of just stealing his trident, she'd rather make him suffer by undoing the human-mermaid relations everyone worked so hard to maintain, which in turn is going to destroy Triton's own relationships.
You also got me wondering how/if Ariel would get along with other humans during a human-mermaid feud. Maybe humans fear and hate Ariel for being a mermaid. Or maybe humans are OK with Ariel because she's "one of the good ones".

The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea
The sequel has come out whole eleven years later.
Out of nowhere Ursula has a sister. But at least some of her lines are fun.
An adventurous horny teen grew up and became a very bad bitchy parent just like her dad. But unlike the racist king, Ariel just refuses to communicate with her daughter. It’s not that hard to explain that a headhunter hunts for her personally. And Ariel has terrorized her…

Patricia: ¿Lola? ¿Lola? Ah, Abuela… ¿Has visto a Lola?
Abuelita: No la veo desde la mañana, Patricia.
*En la cocina*
Pepe: (decorando el pastel) 🎵Mmmhhh…🎵
Patricia: (entrando) Pepe… ¿Lola no está aquí? ¿Ó si?
Pepe: No, Patricia. Pero su pastel de cumpleañoscito y las pequeñas velas. C’est magnifique! Muak…! (comienza a tambalearse de la escalera) ¡Oh, oh! ¡Uh! Jejeje…
Claudio: ¡Wiiii! ¡Esta de verdad será una fiesta fabulosa! ¡Si, señor! Una parranda fuera de lo ordinario. Sólo nos falta una cosa… ¡La invitada de honor!

QUARTERFINAL ROUND, MATCH 1 OUR OF 4! FINALS FOR SET A!
Propaganda Under the Cut:
Ariel:
Because someone had to submit her. I mean the animated version, specifically.
She may make very stupid decisions in the name of her special interest, but you've got to admire the dedication at least! Also goddamn her singing voice.
Part of Your World still hits so hard and makes me so emotional, despite not feeling very attached to this movie. Jodi Benson has such a beautiful voice! I haven't watched the live-action remake so I don't know how good that rendition of Part Of Your World is, but this one is so incredibly powerful.
Melody:
Her movie sucked but her character was literally SO good. I love her so much. Just look at her goooo
The daughter of Ariel, Melody begins the story as a literal fish out of water. Though she's half mermaid she is forbidden from being in the sea, and is kept from the knowledge of her origins. Though she believes herself to be human all she wants is to be in the water. -She sneaks out where she is forbidden to go -Her parent finds out and the have an argument -She runs away and gets a human/mermaid transformation with the help of a sea witch
It's like Ariel's story in reverse where she's not allowed to go to the sea so she makes a deal with Ursula's sister (that we didn't know existed lmao) to become a mermaid. I remember liking the movie as a kid.
i think she counts as a little mermaid in her own right. her story is a fantastic mirror of ariel's.
