But the sea levels are rising!!!

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports (archived here) that the relative sea level trend (how the level of sea water changes relative to the land over a period of time) at Ihla Fiscal, a nearby island, is 2.35 millimeters (just under a tenth of an inch) a year, an increase of more than nine inches in 100 years. In other words, sea levels are rising in the Sugarloaf Mountain area, and they are rising globally, too. Worldwide, the average sea level has risen eight to nine inches since 1880, according to NOAA, which also reports that this rate is accelerating.

Photographs of historic landmarks that appear to show no change in sea levels are often used to perpetuate the myth that sea levels aren't rising. For example, Lead Stories has written about claims involving images of Plymouth Rock, the Statute of Liberty and Fort Denison in Sydney Harbor, Australia. But the photographs can't back up the claims.

The images of Sugarloaf Mountain, for example, are taken at such a distance that it would be impossible to determine whether sea levels are rising or falling. They are also displayed without any context or explanation; it's unclear at what time of the year they were taken and whether they were taken at low or high tide. By themselves, the photographs do not say anything about sea levels -- much less prove that they aren't rising.

I feel like the sea is definitely more close in the last shot.

A rising tide lifts all ships

If we're looking for a serious answer, humans fill bays with material all the time - waterfront property is best property even if you have to dump rocks and dirt in there to make it. Like the airport built over fill dirt is pretty nuts... the stuff they think of!

@1,301,259 (B)
This is a long response that I didn't read but I assume is correct so @OP please assume I agree with wherever it says.
