In a recent study published in Nature Sustainability, researchers used satellite-based radar to measure the degree of relative land subsidence for 48 of the largest coastal cities in the world. They found that nearly all of the cities studied are experiencing some degree of land subsidence and in 44 of them, some areas are sinking at a much faster rate than the sea is rising.

The focus of this map is on the local geology, not climate change. You'll understand why when you look at it in more detail.

That make sense. Is pointing to the ring of fire, where tectonic plates are moving a lot

No its not. There is overlap, but its definitely not just pointing to the ring of fire.
Texas isn't in the ring of fire.
California is in the ring of fire.
Even if half of these are close to the RoF, or sinking because of plate tectonics, isn't cool to know which half is sinking?
Bottom right of the pic says its due to ground water extraction or compaction. Worth being skeptical of that.

Happy to realise, I ain't sitting in any of these.
But curious to know if there are any attempts or plans to save our coasts?

I hope not. But probably are plans.
People should move. Not get bailed out, because they love the beach.
