Swamp coolers are great for low humidity environments, and we continue to use them there. Unfortunately, they're not great where humidity gets high.

However, this is not a simple swamp cooler - it's a ground heat sink system powered by natural convection.

If it were just a swamp cooler - yes. I have experimented with pure swamp coolers and they're not very effective near a sea.
