Slag, it looks as though the shells under you are 50 feet above sea level because of uplift of the land rather than lowering of the sea. So you are not likely to get wet feet any time soon, or at all. The most likely way for your house to get wet from the ocean is for a bolide to do a splash in the Atlantic ocean. If people build dykes all over the place, like Holland and New Orleans, the results will be similar to New Orleans. The interface between air and water is very wobbly. Any perturbance sends waves across the ocean. The solution to sea level rising is to move uphill as old infrastructure needs replacement and for new things to be built. Anyone who builds a house below sea level in New Orleans is asking for it. People who build on the top of cliffs should expect to fall down. People who build on river flood plains should expect to be flooded. People who build inside the crater of active volcanoes such as Taupo should expect to find themselves buried or high in the sky. People who build near the Arctic should expect the glaciation return to bury them in a snow. Mqurice
