Sea levels along the Atlantic coast of the U.S. have risen approximately 1 to 3 feet (0.3 to 0.9 meters) over the past century, with rates of rise varying by location due to factors like land subsidence and ocean currents. Some areas, particularly in the mid-Atlantic region, are experiencing higher rates of rise, estimated at up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) or more by 2100 if current trends continue. This rise poses significant risks to coastal communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems.
