Some places *are* under water now. And oceans *are* covering many coastal areas.

Only a few coastal areas show a gain. The gains come largely from human activity (filling in tidal basis/bays with rock/dirt fill). Most places show a net loss. Other "land mass gains" come from volcanic activity. None of the "gains" mean sea levels aren't rising, and coastal areas in general aren't losing land -- they are.

What a surprise, the "conservative news service" denies global warming. I'm stunned.
So, where are these four recent "peer-reviewed studies?"
Hmm?

The vast majority of the "gains" came from (to quote the study) "drying of lakes, sedimentation of rivers, and man-made reclamations." And, "By far the biggest change from water to land over the past 30 years is Lake Aral that almost completely dried up because of irrigation to produce cotton and wheat." Which of course has nothing to do with sea level rise or not.
In fact, if you'll actually go read all of their study (rather than just cherry-pick something from "conservative news" sites), you'll find the study explicitly shows loss of coastal area from climate change, and they document where this is the case.
Here's their tool that lets you see just that:
