This is your study, a cut and paste picture with an unproven statement or link? And you call me a maroon, amazing.
Here is a real study:

What Accounts for the Varying Rates of Sea Level Rise in Different Locations? as for the local variations. It is true that some places—such as the East Coast of the United States and the eastern Gulf Coast off Florida, for instance—are experiencing higher than average rates of sea level rise. Two major factors account for these sea-level hotspots: local topography and changes in ocean currents. Depending on local geological factors, land in some coastal areas is actually slightly sinking, or “subsiding” as scientists describe it. This localized phenomenon can occur for a variety of reasons, but this natural settling of land can increase the rate of sea level rise in certain coastal regions. This is happening, for example in the Gulf region, where subsiding land is allowing the ocean to penetrate further inland.
Equally important is the role of ocean currents. As the oceans warm globally, currents in many places can shift, resulting in changes that either tend to pull water away from the shore or pull it in. Along the East Coast, changes in the path and strength of ocean currents are contributing to faster-than-average sea level rise.
Scientists have been closely studying so-called "king tides"—the highest measured tides over the course of the year in a given local area. As we have already seen from storm surges during Superstorm Sandy, for instance, sea level rise accompanied by storms is already having a destructive and devastating effect on some coastal regions. King tides present communities with challenges but they also help force these communities to prepare because king tides offer a preview of sea level rise to come. Given the current pace of sea level rise, the water level reached now during a king tide will eventually become the water level reached at high tide on an average day.

A large part of the inter-annual and decadal variability in sea level around the whole coast of Australia is coherent and highly correlated with the Southern Oscillation Index and can be represented by a single EOF. Removing this coherent variability from both tide-gauge and altimetry records around Australia significantly reduces uncertainties of sea-level trends with more uniformity in regional trends than previously reported. An assessment of the two longest tide-gauges records (Sydney, 1886–2010; Fremantle, 1897–2010) shows that the rate of rise has been non-linear in nature with both records showing large rates of rise around the 1940s, relatively stable RMSLs between 1960 and 1990 and an increased rate of rise from the early 1990s. From 1966 to 2010, when there is good coverage of most of the Australian coastline, the average Australian relative rate of rise is slower than the global mean prior to about 1985, but the mean Australian OVMSL rate from tide gauges is close to the global mean. Since 1993, MSL trends are considerably higher than the global mean around Northern Australian and similar to the global mean around southern Australia. Higher sea-level trends in northern Australia are largely associated with natural climate variability.
Even after attempts to remove the effects of this natural variability, trends around most of Australia, show an increased rate of rise from the early 1990s, consistent with global mean trends.
