Can we remake what we have undone? The construction of ports in coastal areas leads on the one hand to a total and irreversible destruction of marine habitats and on the other hand to significant chemical contamination. These pressures are some of the greatest threats to coastal marine biodiversity. Faced with increasingly important economic stakes, humanity finds itself torn between the need to develop port areas on the one hand, and the absolute necessity to maintain coastal ecosystems and the services associated with them on the other. In an attempt to reconcile the two, more and more countries are engaging in ecological rehabilitation approaches aimed in particular at limiting the impact of “grey” infrastructures, i.e. those built by man without ecological consideration, on marine coastal ecosystems. But do these projects represent a real hope for the conservation of marine biodiversity or should we see them as a simple blue mirage?
