It is difficult to track this trend further into the future as these diagrams show a sea level of 14 meters above the current level, which would mean that the worlds' oceans would be so dilute with fresh water that ocean currents would totally cease, resulting in an ice-age. This ice-age would cause sea levels to drop drastically, but the areas depicted in these maps would then be covered in icecap.
It is a question which demands more research.
Here we see the Bai des Chaleur, in northern New Brunswick. Specifically: Bathurst NB, I find myself nonplussed in the knowledge that my parents' home will be completely submerged within 500 years.
Below we see the bay of Fundy/Tantramar Marsh area, the lower right hand portion of the image being the lowland marsh with the dense sea level activity, bad news for Sackville and Amherst . The left area of the map being the Fundy region which has the highest tides in the world; alot of cliffs, so not alot of action there.
Note the sea level/fauna/time correlation in the color coding.
Below we have a portion of the Petitcodiac River. Interestingly, this part of the river which goes through Mocton and Riverview got turned into a muddy tidal shit hole when a causeway went in in the 1990s. This map shows that within the next 200 years the causeway will be overwhelmed and the river will be back to it regular flow, its just a bit constipated now.
Note the junction points for the SV-2 transportation system.
While my research far too complicated for laymen to reproduce, I have found a fun map site for looking at sea level change.
