Abstract (type = abstract)
This thesis examines an intertidal area and surrounding shoreline along a portion of eastern Bayonne, New Jersey covering approximately 75.4-acres. The site is surrounded by Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor, the new redevelopment zone along the north, Upper New York Bay along the east, South Cove Commons shopping complex and Bayonne Golf Club along the south, and US Highway 440, Rail station, and residential areas along the west portion of the site. Much of the design focus is centered around improving waterfront access, circulation and use, along with water quality, stormwater management, and storm resiliency. This thesis also examines the history of the site and long-lost ecological systems once abundant along Bayonne. A broad analysis of past, present, and future conditions is included, followed by conceptualization, design modeling, and the development of various design proposals that activate, fortify, and rejuvenate this tucked-in intertidal mudflat.
