The depth dierential within the Basin itself, compounded by its geometry and mile-long length inland, hinders its natural tidal mixing with Jamaica Bay. Hazen and Sawyer helped the New York City Department of Environmental Protection develop and implement a strategy to destratify and improve water quality in the Shellbank Basin.
