Nationalgeographic.co.id—What will happen in the future about rising sea levels? a historical record says for many years sea level always rose by a few millimeters to the highest peak at the end of the century.
There are two causes of global sea level rise, one of which is a warmer planet causing most of the ice to melt. Others are on land and seawater thermal exonsion. Meanwhile in the United States, another cause of the increase sea level is due to the slowing of the gulf current (gulf stream).

Saltwater swamp is in a narrow tidal range. They can continue to sink and dry out. When sea level up they will follow.
Anne Giblin, senior scientist and ecosystem director of the University of Chicago’s Center for Marine Biology Laboratory, said there are three mechanisms to follow.
“First they migrate backwards to higher ground, then they collect inorganic and organic matter from the incoming tide, and they produce organic matter in the soil,” Giblin said at an online seminar at UChicago Yuen Campus Hong Kong.
