And here we go again !!!So I thought I’d take a look at some of the claims. To start with, here’s an overview of the sea level rise around the US coasts.

A few notes of interest. First, look at the east coast / west coast differences in relative sea level rise. This is generally not because sea levels are rising at different rates on the east and west coasts. It’s because the land is generally sinking on the east coast and rising on the west coast. Nothing to do with the ocean.
