What is the sinking sea?

The term "sinking sea" often refers to areas experiencing significant subsidence or sinking due to factors like geological activity, groundwater extraction, or climate change impacts such as rising sea levels. This phenomenon can lead to the loss of land, increased flooding, and changes in local ecosystems. Coastal regions, particularly in places like Louisiana and parts of Southeast Asia, are particularly vulnerable to these effects. The term can also evoke the broader concept of oceanic regions affected by environmental degradation and rising water levels.
