1. Environmental impact: Marine architecture should consider the impact it may have on the marine environment. It is important to assess the possible effects of the structure on marine life, fisheries, and the ecosystem.
2. Coastal erosion: Building structures in the coastal zone can exacerbate the natural process of coastal erosion. Marine architecture must take into account measures to prevent or mitigate its effects.
3. Climate change: Climate change is affecting the world's oceans, causing sea levels to rise and more powerful storms to occur. Marine architecture should be designed with climate change in mind, taking into account the future impacts on the structure.
4. Marine biodiversity: Marine architecture should minimize the impact on marine biodiversity by avoiding sensitive areas and minimizing the damage to natural habitats.
5. Water quality: Marine architecture can affect water quality by introducing pollutants or changing circulation patterns. It is important to consider the potential impact on the marine environment's water quality.
6. Accessibility: Marine architecture plays a vital role in providing access to offshore activities. Marine architecture must take into account accessibility needs of people and goods.
7. Sustainability: Marine architecture should adopt sustainable practices such as using environmentally friendly materials, reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting efficient water use.
