Ohio DNR Coastal Management Program
May 1997-Present
Description:
Lead Organization:
The Ohio Coastal Management Program, approved by the US Department of
Commerce in May 1997, works to enhance, restore, develop, preserve, and protect
the resources of the lakeshore of Lake Erie. The plan emphasizes six focus areas to
be improved by the ODNR Coastal Management Zone Program: Water resources and
watersheds, Coastal land use and development, Coastal habitat, wetlands, and
natural areas, Coastal flooding and erosion, Recreational opportunities, and Fish and
wildlife resources. The purpose of the program is to promote sustainability-the ability
to meet the needs of the present without damaging the needs of future generations.
Through this organization, the ODNR provides Coastal Management Assistance
Grants to those local communities, educational facilities, and the like for the purpose
of funding projects with a direct effect on the protection of Lake Erie coastal
resources.
