:-DDD Yes, today's coast is c 20 km from the ancient coast. Thanks a lot, my boy, for this very extensive & beautiful report on Hn-like footprints (even wider than in Hn).
It confirms that early-Pleistocene Homo were coastal omnivores that gradually & in parallel (initially presumably seasonally) followed the ponds & rivers inland. Google e.g. "coastal dispersal Pleistocene Homo" doi 10.13140/RG.2.2.34581.22245.

Desert antelope have wide feet, eg. Near-coastal Oryx antelope of Yemen, Oman & Mediterranean seldom drink water, their hooves are wide like snow-adapted reindeer, and they make similar clicking sounds with their legs. But they don't dive or backfloat either.

"During the last phases of MIS 9 in transit to MIS 8, the sea level
would be, according to the composite sea-level curve for the
Pleistocene epoch30, about 60 m below the present sea level,
which would imply a shoreline position 20–25 km away from
the present position."

Some pseudo-scientist who doesn't understand "extensive coastal plain":

....

not worth answering
