Initial physical condition studies at the Mouth of the Maurice River were conducted which included wind and wave climate, bathymetry and shore-normal beach profiles for an engineering study. The engineering study was conducted to determine a recommended program to provide enhanced shore protection at Basket Flats and restore some of the marsh area lost. Recommended design was for construction of a stone revetment at the easterly end of Basket Flats and a series of nearshore detached breakwater structures along the southerly shore of Basket Flats to protect the marsh and shoreline from further erosion.
