If by some chance those islands are sinking, it is more likely from settling of the extinct volcanic foundation the island is built on.

They aren't volcanic islands. They're coral atolls.

If they were volcanic islands, the high elevation point would be something more than ten feet above sea level.

Thanks. Do coral atolls settle also?
