Aha, so the low lying Pacific islands will get the most effects, be most visible, of rise. The water is cycling to the middle due to ... currents or.... centrifugal effects....Got it.

Yeah, there are pacific islands that have disappeared in the past 30 years. I recently saw a documentary about an important island, used by local pacifier Islanders as a second home, that has pretty much gone under water.
