<showed a similar picture to the lower one you showed,
Yep that the rolling island effect.. like Slagle mentioned about the Carolinas.. >

No, not that. The point of the picture we were shown at the conference was that a few years later all the sand had comes back, and what had been a panic about disappearing sand became a panic and eventual retreat before the advancing sand dunes. The point is that most of what happens to beaches over a decade or so is driven by wave action, not by an inch of sea level rise. Beaches are accreting and retreating all over the world.

A few years ago there were newspaper stories predicting enormous amounts of sea level rise - it didn't eventuate.
