The Lake Erie Ohio Public Access/Visitation Survey seeks to gather data on perception and satisfaction levels with public access to Ohio’s portion of Lake Erie.
Survey Seeks Public Feedback on Improving Ohio’s 312-mile Lake Erie Coast
Sandusky, OH – How can we make your Lake Erie experience better? This is the question four Ohio agencies who work together to improve Lake Erie are asking people who live, work and play along Ohio’s 312-mile coast, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
The Lake Erie Ohio Public Access/Visitation Survey seeks to gather data on perception and satisfaction levels with public access to Ohio’s portion of Lake Erie, visitation habits of Ohio residents and tourists, and activities that people like to participate in while visiting.
Open until September 17, the survey can be accessed online by visiting ohiodnr.com/coastal and selecting the “Public Access Survey: Ohio Lake Erie Visitation” icon.
The online survey is sponsored by ODNR’s Office of Coastal Management and its Division of Wildlife’s Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve in addition to the Ohio Sea Grant and Ohio Lake Erie Commission.
The agencies’ goal is to work with coastal visitor bureaus, metropolitan park districts, watershed groups, non-government organizations and communities to improve Lake Erie access and amenities based on the survey results. By basing public access improvements on user feedback, it is hoped visitation to Lake Erie will increase, resulting in positive impacts to coastal communities’ economies.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR Web site at www.ohiodnr.com.
