Choose antenna material sustain with environtment

I must choose material for antenna working on island (near the sea). Most antenna quickly damage if they made from stell, iron as well as aluminum.

I don't know what material could i make for my antenna, it can work for long time.

I would suggest to use marine experience. For use on ships, long-wire antennas are made of copper or bronze wire and heavily painted . Microwave antennas are made of aluminum and again, painted with varnishes resisting salty mist.
You can cover small antennas by radomes made of Teflon or glass laminate.
