Ohio Sea Grant works to protect the environment of Lake Erie and the Great Lakes.

Ohio Sea Grant and Stone Laboratory staff, as part of The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, combine research, education, and outreach, in collaboration with Great Lakes communities, to make and inform decisions regarding Lake Erie and the region’s most important environmental and economic issues with impartiality.
