SITE ANALYSIS

The site chosen at versova creek is the area around one of the tributaries which consists of marshy land and water. This site was chosen keeping in mind the different fringe conditions, which were all seen at one area. To the west of the site is a fishery institute having a concrete road which stops at the periphery of the marshy land. Towards the east is a residential area. As the site is not accessible from either side there is a need for an approachable access. Instead of creating a road leading to the site which would tamper with the growth of the mangroves having a path that blends in with the surroundings would be more appropriate. Therefore we are providing a pathway made of bamboo rafts which float on the surface.

Topic: Mangroves
Site: Versova (Lokhandwala).
Mangroves are trees and shrubs that grow in saline coastal habitats in the tropics and subtropics. Mangroves form a characteristic saline woodland or shrub land habitat, called mangrove swamp, mangrove forest, and mangrove. Mangrove roots provide an oyster habitat and slow water flow, thereby enhancing sediment deposition in areas where it is already occurring. Mangroves protect coastal areas from erosion, storm surge. The average height of the mangrove trees are 3-4meters. Only a few roots of the mangrove are anchored into the water bed while others are floating or partially submerged in water. The roots are intertwined into one another showing porosity. At Lokhandwala; the most common birds are pond herons, bar head geese, median egrets, storks, sand pipers, curlews, terrenes and sometimes even preying birds like sea eagles and kites. Common fish are scats, milk fish, mullets, cat fish and perches.
