Only problem is, it's not supposed to bubble:
Heard today from @FPNA_Boston regarding the Fort Point Channel watersheet bubbling. It’s visible everywhere from @fortpointpier. Attributable to area pile driving and construction? No idea. @universalhub pic.twitter.com/iDQXEWY1Vg

there would only be bubbles from one spot -- but it sounds like the bubbles are from all over. (Unclear, but that's my interpretation.)
Sounds like something natural, though.

Dump trucks used to dump snow from downtown snow removal into the Fort Point channel, between Congress St. and Summer St. I remember seeing all kinds of stuff embedded in the snow, especially after a big storm. There were shopping carts, bicycles, trash receptacles, lumber, and all kinds of trash, big and small.
I believe this practice ended but who knows what the heck is down there? Leaking drums of toxic waste? Dead bodies? Worse?

Actually, if the tunnel were leaking, there probably wouldn't be any bubbles, because the air displaced by the water rushing into the tunnel could more easily escape through the tunnel openings themselves and through the ventilation systems.
More likely it's either caused by some change in the chemistry of the water in the channel, or something has triggered the release of gases from the sediments under the channel.
It seems unlikely that there are methane clathrates there...

Aren't they blasting or dredging the harbor?

I do believe they are or recently dredged or blasted the harbor. Must have hit an underground air pocket...
