Factors if the sea level is increased rather than the temperature and pressure.

Explanation:

If the sea level rises:

1. Coastal erosion would increase and disrupt the coastal vegetation and environment. Species that depend on this environment would suffer or migrate.

2. Dissolved carbon dioxide in oceans would increase that would affect the pH of the oceans and thus would disturb the marine ecosystem.

3. Wetlands would flood and this would damage the unique ecosystem thriving here as well.

4. Ground water near the new coast would get contaminated by saline water.

5. Migration patterns of birds could change.
