Talking Trash in Lake Erie

The Great Lakes are filled with items that do not belong there. Huge amounts of consumer plastics, metals, rubber, paper, textiles, derelict fishing gear, vessels, and other lost or discarded items enter the marine environment every day, making marine debris one of the most widespread pollution problems facing us today. Learn how you can make a difference.

Jill will also answer any questions you may have that pertain to Lake Erie water quality considering the current Harmful Algae Bloom issues.

Program Location

Steele Memorial Bandstand and Gazebo (number 29 on the Lakeside Chautauqua map). Because the Gazebo is an outdoor venue, the Lake Erie Science program will be moved to the Pavilion East Deck (number 26) if rain is expected.

Once you are within the Lakeside Gates, you’ll turn left onto Maple Avenue and travel north until you reach the end and the lake is in front of you, then turn right/east toward the Bandstand.

Directions and a map of the Lakeside campus can be found on the Lakeside website. Once on the Marblehead Peninsula, be sure to follow the directions on this website and not GPS because during the Chautauqua Season, Lakeside is a gated community and only certain entrances are open.

A Chautauqua Pass is required for admission to Lakeside Chautauqua. A Partial Day Chautauqua Pass can be purchased for $8.00 to enter for 3 hours. A Daily Chautauqua Pass is $24.50/adult and $16.25/youth (ages 13-24) per day. Children ages 12 and under are free. Please review full admission rates and Chautauqua programs at lakesideohio.com/admission. Limited parking is available within the gates for $12.50 per day or the South Gate Parking Lot for $6.50 per day (complimentary shuttle service available).
