- They have realigned the northern part of the island by building a new embankment inland and the old sea defences were breached
- Mudflats and salt marshes were created - help protect sea wall and properties to the south
- £7.5 million - replaces bird habitats, improves flood defences on island and creates leisure oppertunities. Since 2007 the site has been managed by RSPB
