I do not believe there is a single thing that man can do to affect changes in sea level. If you presume that man is a significant cause of recent climate warming (something I doubt greatly), then perhaps changing fuel consumption habits (reducing fossil fuel burning) could reduce the amount of change over the longer term (decades to centuries). If that is what you are looking for, you must consider all consumption of energy involving the individual, including lighting and appliance use, and energy used to generate consumer products. cut back on all energy consuming activity (use manual tools and appliances, buy energy efficient appliances where manual replacement is not feasible, refuse to buy unnecessary and disposable consumer goods, and so forth).
every consumer good that you buy requires energy consumption in its manufacture.

Sea level change is actually a natural phenomenon, but humans have potentially accelerated the process.
Over the last couple hundred thousand years sea level has fluctuated a lot, I think it may be up to 120m (can't remember exactly). You can actually see ancient rivers which have been carved into the continental shelf on google earth, e.g. the indus river in pakistan, or the Ganges. We cycle between ice-house and green-house periods which can be related to milankovich cycles. The evidence is in the ice cores gathered from glaciers around the world which have been analysed using oxygen isotopes (and some other methods).
Anthropogenic solutions are things like... cleaner energy sources (solar, geothermal etc), switching to green architecture (green roof or wall architecture) , reducing carbon emissions (agriculture is the biggest culprit, mining does hardly anything compared to methane coming from cows), planting native trees etc etc.

the level of CO2 in the atmosphere-close to 400 parts per million-is high enough to cause global warming. That means, even if the human race stopped producing pollution entirely, today, we would still have melting polar ice and rising seas.
So, there is nothing you can do. Obviously anything you mentioned would help the environment, though, especially plating trees.
