Aquatic Ecology & "Dead Zone"
From the loss of the Great Black Swamp to the burning of the Cuyahoga River to the changes induced by the Clean Water Act to the recent reemergence of the "Dead Zone," the Lake Erie ecosystem is in a constant state of change. It is imperative that academia, decision makers, and resource users understand these changes as they arise, and Sea Grant research significantly impacts this understanding.
