Maryland's Sea Level Rise Projection (2023 Report): Maryland's sea level rise (SLR) projection gives a most likely estimate of a 1.4 ft SLR by 2050 from a year-2000 baseline. However the report advises that, “It is prudent to plan for a relative sea-level rise of 2.1 feet by 2050”, which is the high-end estimate.
