Wetlands

Lake Erie has lost an estimated 90% of Ohio's historic "Great Black Swamp." Remaining coastal marshes are often diked to prevent further losses to development or fluctuating lake levels. While protecting wetlands from complete loss, dikes dramatically change wetland functions in the landscape. With only a small fraction of Lake Erie's original wetlands remaining, the preservation and restoration of those that remain and the functions they provide to the Lake's biotic and human communities are essential.
