Abstract:

Great Bay Boulevard, located on the Tuckerton Peninsula in Ocean County, NJ, is a coastal roadway experiencing increased closures due to flood events. The project team explored the use of green infrastructure solutions that could simultaneously mitigate future roadway flooding and maintain marsh health over time. Thin layer placement of sediment could raise the marsh platform elevation in vulnerable locations along the road. A combination of oyster beds and native plants could be placed along the marsh edge to reduce overall wave energy at the site.
