There is no question that mangroves can save shoreline, today. The sea level rise in question is not enough to kill mangroves and won't be for some time. One source: >The authors determined that accretion will not keep up beyond sea-level rise of 0.27 inches per year. Rutgers University climate data scientist Erica Ashe, one of the authors, says the current global rate is 0.134 inches https://therevelator.org/mangroves-climate-change/ https://therevelator.org/mangroves-climate-change/ On an unrelated note, I am glad that you are doing some research and hopefully learning a bit along the way.

Please reread your own sources. Your own source concludes in the paragraph following the one you cited that: "Based on projected rates, mangrove trees could lose their race against rising water within the next 30 years."

Tldr: climate change begets soil erosion, which leads to loss of land mass... which disappears islands. Let's stop disputing the obvious just to be a contrarian. Thanks, back to work for me. Wish you the best.
