TOLEDO, OH - Reports detailing the results of 13 projects supported by the Lake Erie Protection Fund are available online for public view, according to the Ohio Lake Erie Commission, the awarding agency.
The projects funded included an assessment of water moving through Mentor Marsh, conversion of septic system records in Lucas County from paper to electronic, renovation of a wetland at East Harbor State Park, printing of a nature tourism brochure for Ashtabula County and support of a Cleveland high school project to educate locals about the threat of invasive species in Lake Erie. The projects varied in length from one to three years.
The Lake Erie Protection Fund was established to help finance research and implementation of projects aimed at protecting and preserving Lake Erie and its watershed. The fund is supported by Ohioans who purchase Lake Erie license plates. During the past 15 years, the commission has raised more than $8.4 million and funded in excess of 260 projects.
The final reports of these recently completed projects can be accessed at the EPA site.
The Ohio Lake Erie Commission is comprised of the directors of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the Ohio departments of natural resources, transportation, development, health and agriculture. The commission was created to preserve the lake's natural resources and protect the quality of its waters and ecosystem.
