My point in bringing this up is that 99.99 % + of
the eustatic sea level changes have occurred prior to mans existance.
The Conrad Blucher Institute (on line) has developed apparent sea level rise rates for the Texas and SW Louisiana coasts (this accounts for both subsidence and
eustatic sea level changes).
Cross-cutting relationships are observed at the valley - scale, indicating multiple episodes of water level fall and rise, each well over 50 meters, a similar scale to
eustatic sea level changes on Earth.
Note that these trends may include a component of subsidence / uplift of the islands themselves and so are the numbers most relevant for local planning (not
eustatic sea level change).

Eustatic sea -
level rise is a
change in global average
sea level brought about by an increase in the volume of the world ocean.
Sea level changes can be driven by either variations in the masses or volume of the oceans («eustatic»), or by changes of the sea surface relative to the land («relative»
Sea level changes can be driven by either variations in the masses or volume of the oceans («

sea surface relative to the land («relative»).
An understanding of
sea -
level change requires maintaining a clear distinction between global (or
eustatic)
sea -
level and local relative
sea -
level.
Eustatic change (as opposed to local
change) results in an alteration to the global
sea levels due to
changes in either the volume of water in the world's oceans or net
changes in the volume of the ocean basins.
When corrected for this, using geologically constrained model predictions, the
change in
eustatic sea level since the Roman Period is -0.13 ± 0.09 m.»
The results are normalized by the equivalent
eustatic sea -
level change for each mass flux event (see original reference).
