If you purchase a lot right on the ocean there are some caveats.

One is, of course, that sea level is rising and depending on how high above current sea level your lot is, you may one day be underwater.

What? The current rate of sea level is rise is about one tenth of an inch a year! (Trend = +3.26 mm/year.3mm equals about one tenth of an inch), See below.

Ten years from now the ocean will be a whole inch or so higher than it is now. And this is something she should worry about? What if the rate doubled? Then in 10 years the ocean in Puna would be two inches higher!
