If sea level rises 20 ft or more -- what would we lose?

For starters, southern Florida. Holland. And Bangladesh.
And every single seaport in the world (or, at least, all their docks, harbours and waterfront facilities)...

I was looking for a map I saw that had the various sea levels forecast for a span of global temperatures. While looking for that, though, I found this- and I thought it was quite interesting:

climatehotmap.org

I've given you coastal area impacts- but the other areas of impact, clickable on the left margin- like water, and agriculture, are also interesting.
