The Treasury Department is warning that state laws that restrict banks from considering environmental, social and governance factors could harm efforts to address money laundering and terrorism financing.
Maybe that’s the point.

I found the source: A 2005 educational image from teachingboxes.org
No explanation on what the shaded region actually means, but it does seem to line up with features on this topographical map.
My guess is that it is either based on a rather imprecise average elevation, excluding land that is technically still above water, or that the shaded area represents an area made uninhabitable by the rise in sea level and not the actual new coastline.
Regardless, this NOAA Sea Level Rise Map seems way more accurate.
