When we in the Netherlands had massive flooding many years ago
we build the 'Delta works':

Don't be silly. It's the water that you hold back, not the wind.

 It's different when the water comes straight down out of the sky, over
thousands of  square miles.
 

You could do it, if the infrastructure was there. But it takes
many years to build all that, and a lot of determination from
politicians and regulators. That doesn't work in the US. All
they seem to be interested in is meddling in the affairs of
foreign countries and lining their own pockets.

Another thing is that you seem to think a couple of kids with
toy spades could do it. Not.

 Kids with plastic buckets could build up beaches enough to compensate
for rising sea levels, around 2mm per year.

Sand erodes. Dunes behind the beaches can sustain enough vegetation to stabilise heaps of mostly sand, but maintaining and raising that kind of coastal barrier requires rather more than kids with plastic buckets.
The Dutch are good at that too, but it doesn't generate eye-candy for tourists.
