Been a while since any new sea planes have been produced. However, there has been much effort made to improve corrosion protection of aircraft used in marine environments. For example, fasteners removed/re-installed during routine maintenance are made from corrosion resistant alloys like A286 cres or 718 inconel. Aluminum structures are anodized/primed/painted/sealed to provide corrosion protection.
