"The outcome of the measurements is an average 9 mm of wetlands lost to the sea every year. "
NO measurements was made. Those useless researchers stay their fat ass on their chairs, use disparate existing data and a "novel" (=never tested, never validated by anyone) algorithm to calculate a new catastrophe. Look up the magic words typical to such junk research : calculate, estimate, predict, project. It's Nintendo science, all hat no cow.

"NO measurements was made."

NOT true. Measurements are made constantly by satellite. I don't know how many per day, as there are multiple satellites involved. My brother worked for a while using the sattelite data to map potential hurricane storm surge flooding across all of South Louisiana. The land height(s) across South Louisiana are among the most accurately measured probably in the world.

Both the short-term and long-term solutions are known. Short-term are levees. Long-term is channelizing the Mississippi below New Orleans to spill the sediment east and west along the coast instead of into the abyssal deep of the Gulf of Mexico.

All that is needed is the money to make it happen.
