It is proposed to dredge an entrance channel 100 feet wide, 8 feet deep, leading from deep water in Moosabec Reach into Sawyer Cove and two anchorages, one of 6 acres to an 8-foot depth and the other 9 acres to a 6-foot depth. Also, to construct a steel pile caisson type breakwater at the entrance to the Cove extending from Henry Point. The breakwater would afford protection to the local fishing fleet. It would reduce damages to boats, moorings and lobster cars by centering activities of the fishing fleet in Sawyers Cove. No major adverse effects are anticipated. The breakwater would occupy a small area of bottom habitat and would create minor change in circulation pattern within the Cove.
