Marine construction can have several environmental concerns that need to be addressed. Some of the key concerns include:

1. Habitat disruption: Construction activities such as dredging, blasting, and the installation of structures can disrupt marine habitats, including coral reefs, seagrass beds, and fish spawning grounds.
2. Sedimentation: Dredging and excavation activities can lead to increased sedimentation in the water, which can smother benthic organisms and negatively impact water quality.
3. Pollution and chemical releases: Construction activities may release pollutants and chemicals into the marine environment, including construction waste, fuel spills, and chemicals used for corrosion control and anti-fouling coatings.
4. Noise and vibration: Construction activities, such as pile driving and blasting, can produce underwater noise and vibrations that can harm marine species, including marine mammals, fish, and invertebrates.
5. Introduction of invasive species: Construction projects involving the installation of new structures can provide opportunities for the introduction of non-native species, which can disrupt the local ecosystem.

To mitigate these environmental concerns, marine construction projects often require environmental impact assessments, permits, and adherence to regulatory frameworks. Best practices include implementing sediment control measures, using environmentally friendly construction materials and techniques, employing noise reduction measures, and monitoring the project's impact on marine life throughout the construction process.
