Description: The prime challenge to those responsible for the management of South Africa’s estuaries is to maintain their viability in the face of ever increasing pressures. It is important that we learn to appreciate the value of estuaries and that we act wisely to manage them for sustainable use. Any operation must have the adequate resources to perform the duties and the correct processes must be followed. The purpose of this research is to determine whether the current inputs and processes needed for the monitoring and breaching of the Great Brak River Mouth system are sufficient to adhere to the output objectives of a healthy estuary together with safeguarding of properties. The research methodology for this study comprised the following steps: Firstly, a literature study was performed to identify the key elements of the operation management transformation model. Operations management deals with the output of any business, in other words the conversion of inputs to create certain outputs and they do this by a process of transformation. Secondly, extensive literature study was performed in order to access material regarding effective estuary and river mouth management. Thirdly, the current situation at Great Brak was assessed to determine whether the current inputs and processes are in place and if additional or altered inputs and processes are needed.
