Maryland Coast Is Sinking, Sea Level Rising
- "Due to land subsidence, sea level is rising at a rate of approximately one foot per century. That's nearly twice the global average. The rate may rise to as much as 2 to 3 feet by 2100 as a result of greenhouse warming." - excerpt from Surfrider Foundation's State of the Beach 2003 report at http://www.beach.com/stateofthebeach/6-state/state.asp?state=MD
