Many people are interested in climate change and how a changing climate will affect the ocean. With the majority of Americans living in coastal states, rising water levels can have potentially large impacts. Scientists have determined that global sea level has been steadily rising since 1900 at a rate of at least 0.04 to 0.1 inches per year.
Sea level can rise by two different mechanisms with respect to climate change. First, as the oceans warm due to an increasing global temperature, seawater expands—taking up more space in the ocean basin and causing a rise in water level. The second mechanism is the melting of ice over land, which then adds water to the ocean.

As we are becoming more modern and industrial day by day we are constantly harming and polluting our mother nature.
This pollution is one of the most significant reasons behind the global warming nowadays, and is global warming is constantly melting down the ice in both poles which is increasing the water in the ocean.
This increasing sea water level is damaging the natural Marine ecosystem. Sunlight diffusion in the under sea environment is also harming due to global warming.
