That's a good question. It's hard to measure sea level. What do you compare it to in order to measure it?

Different areas of land rise and fall at different rates as well. There can be no definitive measurement from 'one point' of dry land due to natural geologic processes. Not to mention natural erosion which is rather extreme along many parts of worldwide seashores.
